To the right, a finely engraved portrait of Queen Elizabeth II appears in an oval frame, reflecting her role as head of state during the period. Part of the definitive series, this issue highlights the connection between the Caymanian people and the sea, which was vital to their livelihood and culture. An attractive colonial-era stamp that combines both royal portraiture and local heritage.
