Islas Caimán Coins
The Cayman Islands have an interesting recent monetary history. Since their status as a British Overseas Territory, these Caribbean islands have undergone significant changes in their monetary system, reflecting their economic development and growing importance as an international financial center.
Monetary history
Until 1972, the Cayman Islands primarily used the Jamaican dollar as legal tender. However, in that year, the Cayman Islands dollar was introduced and has remained the official currency ever since. This new currency was established at a fixed parity to the U.S. dollar, at a ratio of 1 Cayman Islands dollar to 1.20 U.S. dollars, which has contributed to the economic stability of the territory.
Numismatics and special issues
Cayman Islands numismatics have gained popularity among collectors due to their commemorative and limited edition issues. Coins minted to commemorate historical events, such as the 500th anniversary of the discovery of the Americas in 1992, or the series dedicated to the local marine fauna, stand out. In addition, the Cayman Islands have issued high purity gold and silver coins, which are appreciated both for their numismatic value and their precious metal content.
