| Reverse description | A finely detailed, high-relief depiction of a southern stingray in three-quarter perspective dominates the central field, set against an engraved underwater scene featuring coral formations, sea flora, and small fish along the lower register. The stingray and surrounding marine environment are enclosed within a raised rope border that forms a circular cartouche. At the apex of the rope circle, a small cameo medallion depicts a two-masted sailing schooner with full sails set, enclosed within its own raised circle. The legend CAYMAN ISLANDS · STINGRAY arcs along the lower periphery outside the rope border. |

| Additional information |
The Cayman Islands has no central bank in the conventional sense — the Cayman Islands Monetary Authority, established in 1997, issues currency but operates under tight constraints tied to the territory's status as a British Overseas Territory. Bullion issues like this one are authorized outside normal circulation mandates, functioning almost entirely as numismatic export products. The five-dollar face value is nominal by any measure given the underlying metal content.
