1994 Caribbean Royal Visit Coin Collection

Silver Proof Coin Collection
In 1994, Queen Elizabeth II, together with Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh, made a visit to the Caribbean, on board the Royal Yacht Britannia.
According to Hansard:

The purpose of Her Majesty the Queen's visit to Commonwealth countries and dependent territories in the Caribbean basin and to Bermuda was to reaffirm the close relationship which exists between the United Kingdom and those countries and territories. In each destination a number of specific objectives were achieved. These included demonstrating the importance we attach to our continuing responsibility for the dependent territories ; and the Queen's continuing commitment to her realms. The visit to Guyana marked our recognition of the restoration of democratic government there.
Six of the countries issued a silver proof coins to commemorate the event. All of these were struck the the British Royal Mint, to the same specifications, and with the same issue limits.

Description
All of the reverse designs, by Royal Mint engraver Robert Elderton, were individual, but linked by the common theme of the Royal Visit, and each featured a small conjoined cameo portrait of Elizabeth and Philip.
Those of the Bermuda and the Cayman Islands had names of the seven countries visited, which included Anguilla, although Anguilla itself did not issue any coins to celebrate the occasion. On each of these two coins, the names were arranged around the outer circle of the coin, separated by a rope circle with loops in the style of a ship's lifebuoys.
The obverse of the coins of Belize, Bermuda, and the Cayman Islands have the Raphael Maklouf portrait of the Queen. Those of the Bahamas, Guyana, and Jamaica have their coats of arms on their reverse.
