| Beschrijving voorzijde | Diademed and draped young effigy of Queen Elizabeth II facing right, after the portrait model by Arnold Machin. The queen wears a tiara and her hair is elaborately styled, with the truncation of the bust visible at the coin's lower field. The legend 'CAYMAN ISLANDS' arcs along the left periphery and 'ELIZABETH II' along the right, separated by raised dots at the base. The date '1979' appears in the lower exergual area flanked by two raised dots, with the CHI mint mark visible to the lower left of the bust. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Issued to mark the 25th anniversary of Queen Elizabeth II's coronation — which the Cayman Islands commemorated a year late, in 1979–1980 — this piece belongs to a wave of Commonwealth gold issues that flooded the market in that period, many struck in debased alloys to keep prices accessible. At .500 fineness, the gold content sits just above the threshold that separates numismatic novelty from meaningful bullion value, a compromise typical of the Caribbean commemorative issues produced by the Franklin Mint and similar contractors for small jurisdictions with no minting infrastructure of their own.
