The Cayman Islands 25 Dollars silver coin issued in 1980 honors the House of Plantagenet I, a powerful medieval dynasty that shaped the foundations of English monarchy. This historically rich issue is part of a prestigious series devoted to royal houses and carries an official denomination of 25 Dollars, combining historical narrative with refined numismatic craftsmanship.

The reverse displays four crowned royal portraits arranged in a circular composition around the central inscription “25 DOLLARS.” At the top appears Richard I, labeled “RICHARD I 1189–1199,” renowned as Richard the Lionheart. To the right is King John with the inscription “JOHN 1199–1216,” while the bottom portrait represents Henry III, marked “HENRY III 1216–1272.” On the left is Henry II, inscribed “HENRY II 1154–1189,” the founder of the Plantagenet dynasty. Each bust is carefully engraved with period crowns, facial features, and medieval styling, complemented by small decorative floral symbols spaced around the rim.

The obverse features a refined right-facing portrait of Queen Elizabeth II wearing a jeweled tiara, surrounded by the inscriptions “CAYMAN ISLANDS,” “ELIZABETH II,” and the date “1980.” The deep mirrored fields contrast elegantly with frosted devices, highlighting the prooflike quality of the strike.

Struck in silver and certified by PCGS as PR67 Deep Cameo, this coin offers strong visual appeal, historical depth, and trusted third-party authentication. It is an excellent choice for collectors of medieval history, British royalty, and high-grade Cayman Islands commemoratives.
