25 Cents - Elizabeth II 3rd portrait

The Cayman Islands maintained a notably stable currency through the 1980s, pegged to the US dollar at a fixed rate of CI$1 to US$1.20 — a peg that has held without interruption since the Cayman Islands dollar was introduced in 1972. That monetary conservatism is reflected in the quiet, untroubled production of this series, issued across four years without significant mintage variation or policy disruption.
