| Additional information |
The XIII Commonwealth Games were held in Edinburgh in July 1986, and proved politically fractious — 32 nations boycotted over Britain's refusal to impose sanctions on apartheid South Africa, leaving the competition notably depleted. The Cayman Islands, as a British Overseas Territory, participated under the Crown and issued this coin as part of a broader series of gold commemoratives tied to the Games.
At just over 47 grams of 22-karat gold, this is a substantial issue by any measure. Mintages for Cayman commemorative gold of this period were tightly controlled and largely absorbed by collector markets rather than circulation.
