This is a $1 commemorative note, celebrating the 60th Anniversary of the First Constitution and the granting of the Coat of Arms by Queen Elizabeth ll. Cayman Islands have been controlled by the British since 1670 and granted self-government on 04.07.1959. The proposal for the Cayman Islands Coat of Arms was first approved by the Legislative Assembly in 1957. The celebration for this special occasion was on 14.05.2018, however this note was only issued in 2020.
This new commemorative note has the same design as the $1 issued previously but with the round shape logo for the celebration added onto the center of the note. The signatures are also shifted to the right side of the note to allow room for the placement of the commemorative message.
In 2018, a $2 miniature sheet postage stamp was issued for this celebration with the Coat of Arms printed on the logo. However the logo for this note is showing a 5-point star instead of the Coat of Arms. The Coat of Arms is printed next to the logo to the right next to the portrait of the Queen, just like those $1 notes issued earlier.
This note was launched on 27.01.2020 by the Premier of Cayman Islands, Alden McNee McLaughlin Jr (Premier since May 2013) during the Heroes Day celebrations and the note was then made available to the public on 31.01.2020.
Signatures : Roy Mc Taggart (Minister of Finance) and Cindy Scotland (Managing Director)
Quantity issued : 1,000,000 pieces
Size - 156mm x 66mm
I believe only one prefix is printed with Q/2. The prefix of Q/1 was used on the 2003 $1 note commemorating the 500th year of the Discovery of the Cayman Islands 1503-2003. However it is not sure if any replacement notes are printed. Cayman Islands has a rather small population of approximately 68,000+ and therefore there are plenty around for everyone including those overseas collectors.
