Not only is the Cayman Islands famous for being the only country in the world to have more registered corporations than human inhabitants, it is also situated in the beautiful Caribbean where majestic fishes like the Marlin are a regular feature. This silver coin series from the Scottsdale Mint aims to captures the natural marine beauty surrounding this island nation.
Each of these coins bears a face value of $1 (KYD or Caymanian Dollar) and are struck using 1 troy ounce of 0.999 pure silver.
A spectacular rendition of a Blue Marlin draws your attention to the coins' reverses -- portraying the fish jumping out of the water. The careful detail and thought put into this design is evident as the spray from the water trails behind the Marlin and the surface of the sea looks agitated due to the sudden movement of this majestic fish.
On the other hand, the obverses bear Ian Rank-Broadley's portrayal of Queen Elizabeth II, like all other legal tender coinage in the Cayman Islands. However, this image is rendered over the surface of, what looks to be, water -- bringing the designs on the reverse and obverse together in a marvelous fashion.
Grab these 2018 1 oz Cayman Islands Marlin Silver Coins from SD Bullion and take another step towards maintaining a complete set of this brand-new series from the Scottsdale Mint. Not only will they help expand and diversify your precious metals portfolio with pure silver, they'll also be great additions to any silver coin collection.
