A loggerhead turtle, a blue marlin and a stingray appear on a new coin collection series issued by the Cayman Islands Monetary Authority.
CIMA, working with Scottsdale Mint, recently unveiled the 2024 Cayman Islands Sea Life Gold and Silver Collector’s Coin Series.
The coins, ranging in price from US$35.96 to US$2,644, are available in 1 oz and 1/10 oz .9999 fine gold and 1 oz .999 fine silver, according to a press release by CIMA.
“Building on the success of the widely popular Cayman Islands Blue Marlin Coin Program, which CIMA launched with Scottsdale Mint in 2017, the Sea Life Series retains the Blue Marlin while introducing two new designs: the Loggerhead Turtle and the Stingray. All three designs feature the Cayman Islands’ Coat of Arms which is depicted on the obverse of each coin,” the release noted.
CIMA acting managing director, Patrick Bodden, said the sea life coins “recognise the significance and beauty of the marine life that attracts many visitors to the Cayman Islands”.
Josh Phair, founder of Scottsdale Mint, said the mint was “incredibly honoured to partner once again with the Cayman Islands Monetary Authority to draw attention to the richness and beauty of the Cayman Islands through precious metals”.
Collectors can purchase the limited supply of coins from CIMA or from the Scottsdale Mint’s website.
