| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a poignant scene commemorating the Christmas Truce of 1914, showing an Allied soldier extending his hand toward a German soldier in an act of goodwill across No Man's Land. Additional silhouetted figures of soldiers are rendered in the background field, evoking the historic moment of informal ceasefire along the Western Front. The denomination TEN DOLLARS appears as a legend within the design. |

| Additional information |
The Cayman Islands' authority to issue commemorative coinage derives from its status as a British Overseas Territory, with the Currency Board holding that right since 1972. These holiday-themed issues were produced primarily for the collector market and gift trade rather than any domestic monetary function — the islands have never relied on their own coinage for day-to-day commerce in any meaningful volume.
