Cayman Islands Coins
Cayman Islands own coins were first issued in 1972, before this Jamaican coins were used. The 1972 coin issued for the Queen's silver wedding anniversary were the first British coins for 300 years to portray a living person or a member of the Royal Family other than the reigning monarch.

Description
Obverse
The crowned head of Queen Elizabeth II facing right, and the inscription CAYMAN ISLANDS ELIZABETH II 2 DOLLARS 1994

Reverse
A leaning ship, presumably becoming wrecked on the reef at East End. Above is the inscription 200th ANNIVERSARY OF THE WRECK OF THE TEN SAILS 1794-1994

Wreck of the Ten Sails
Legend has it that in 1794 a convoy of merchant ships travelling from Jamaica to Britain got into trouble at East End. 'Cordelia' apparently ran aground on the reef and sent a siganl to the other ships to warn them of the dangers of the reef. However, that signal was misinterpreted and nine more ships sailed into the dangerous coral. The people of the East End acted fast and all the lives were saved.
