Silver Ounce 2025 Stingray, Coin from Cayman Islands - detailed information

The Cayman Islands is a self-governing British Overseas Territory, the largest by population, in the western Caribbean Sea. The territory has its own currency, the Cayman Islands Dollar, in which the Cayman Islands Monetary Authority (CIMA) issues a variety of circulating coins and banknotes.

The government also authorises some foreign mints to strike commemorative and bullion coins under its jurisdiction, for collector's purposes or for investment. Many of these are in standard bullion sizes, including one ounce (1oz) of silver.

This coin is part of the Cayman Sea Life Coin Series, and features the Stingray.

The mint says about it:
Glide into the underwater world of the Cayman Islands with the 2025 Stingray release in the celebrated Sea Life Series. This limited edition coin pays tribute to one of the Caribbean’s most graceful and iconic marine animals - the Southern Stingray - and its deep connection to the culture, history, and ecology of these tropical waters.

The Stingray, with its smooth body and fluid motion, is a natural wonder of the sea. Found in the shallow, crystal-clear waters surrounding the Cayman Islands, these gentle creatures are a cherished part of the local marine ecosystem. Their effortless elegance makes them a favorite among divers and snorkelers - and a lasting symbol of balance in the ocean’s fragile environment.

Few marine encounters are as unforgettable as those at Stingray City, the world-famous sandbar where visitors can swim with and feed wild Southern Stingrays (Dasyatis americana). For generations, these animals have brought locals and travelers together in a uniquely Caymanian experience. Their continued presence reflects not only natural abundance but also the community’s commitment to respectful wildlife interaction.

Today, conservation efforts help protect stingray populations from environmental threats and overexposure. Marine parks, strict guidelines, and education programs have helped ensure these remarkable creatures continue to thrive in Cayman waters. The 2025 Stingray coin is more than a beautiful collectible - it’s a tribute to a species that represents the spirit of the sea and the importance of protecting it.
