| Comments |
The Cayman Islands Monetary Authority replaced the earlier Currency Board issues in 2003, and the D Series notes — of which this is part — represent the first full series issued under CIMA's direct authority. De La Rue's involvement with Cayman banknotes goes back to earlier series, giving the notes a consistent production lineage unusual for a small offshore territory that might otherwise have cycled through printers.
The D Series ran an unusually long production window for a small jurisdiction, with this denomination circulating across nearly a decade before the polymer E Series rendered it obsolete in 2019.
