| Additional information |
The Cayman Islands have no central bank in the conventional sense — the Cayman Islands Monetary Authority, established in 1997, oversees currency but the territory has long relied on commemorative bullion programs as a meaningful revenue stream given its status as one of the world's premier offshore financial jurisdictions. This 2023 issue belongs to a series built around local marine fauna, with the southern stingray historically common in the shallow sandbar waters north of Grand Cayman — a site that became one of the most visited marine tourist attractions in the Caribbean before stingray populations there were affected by overcrowding pressure.
