| 背面描述 | A lone World War I soldier, depicted in silhouette-style high relief, strides forward across a desolate, wind-swept battlefield while wearing a full gas mask and steel helmet, rifle in hand. Billowing clouds of poison gas swirl across the field in undulating waves, evoking the horror of chemical warfare. The legend TEN DOLLARS arcs along the upper periphery in bold capital letters. The composition commemorates the first large-scale use of poison gas during the First World War. |

This issue belongs to a broader commemorative program marking the 90th anniversary of the Armistice, produced by several Commonwealth territories in 2008. The Cayman Islands, as a British Overseas Territory, participated through the authority of its monetary body rather than directly through the Royal Mint. The subject — poison gas warfare on the Western Front — was among the most controversial choices in the series, reflecting a post-centennial willingness to confront the uglier mechanics of industrial-scale killing rather than defaulting to purely ceremonial imagery.
Germany first deployed chlorine gas at Ypres in April 1915. By the war's end, an estimated 1.3 million gas casualties had been recorded across all combatant nations.
