The 2018 commemorative dollar marks sixty years since the Cayman Islands' first formal constitutional instrument under British colonial administration. Crane Currency, based in Dalton, Massachusetts — the same firm that has supplied paper and printing to the US Federal Reserve for generations — handled production, which is an unusual choice for a Caribbean dependency more typically served by De La Rue or Canadian Bank Note Company.
The watermark remains the primary listed security feature, modest by modern standards for a commemorative issue. P#W44 designates this as a polymer-adjacent catalog entry, though the note is cotton paper — the "W" prefix reflects catalog reorganization rather than substrate.
