| Additional information |
Issued to mark the 150th anniversary of representative government in the Cayman Islands, established when the British Crown granted the islands an elected assembly in 1832. That assembly was a modest affair — the islands had fewer than 5,000 inhabitants at the time — but it gave the Caymans a degree of self-governance unusual for such a small Caribbean dependency. The 1982 commemorative program coincided with a broader reassessment of Cayman's constitutional relationship with Britain under the 1959 constitution.
