| Obverse description | Right-facing crowned effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, wearing the George IV State Diadem and a pearl necklace, rendered in high relief against a deeply mirrored proof field. The legend CAYMAN ISLANDS arcs along the left periphery, ELIZABETH II along the right, and the date 1988 appears in the lower exergue. The portrait is consistent with the fourth definitive effigy of the Queen as designed by Raphael Maklouf. |
