Cayman Islands 25 dollars Coronation Ampulla PR68 PCGS silver coin 1978

The Cayman Islands 25 Dollars silver coin issued in 1978 is an elegant commemorative honoring the 25th Anniversary of the Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II. Struck in silver with exceptional Proof quality, this issue celebrates one of the most significant royal milestones of the 20th century and is certified PCGS PR68 DCAM, confirming its strong cameo contrast and high preservation.

The reverse features the Coronation Ampulla, a historic ceremonial vessel used in British coronations to hold the holy anointing oil. The ampulla is shown as a stylized eagle standing atop an ornate base, wings partially spread, rendered in crisp frosted relief against deep mirrored fields. Surrounding inscriptions read “25th ANNIVERSARY OF CORONATION · 1953–1978,” with “THE AMPULLA” clearly identified beside the central figure and the denomination “TWENTY FIVE DOLLARS” placed below, emphasizing both the theme and value.

The obverse displays a refined right-facing portrait of Queen Elizabeth II wearing a crown, with delicately engraved hair, facial features, and neckline. The legend “CAYMAN ISLANDS · ELIZABETH II” encircles the portrait, with the date 1978 positioned beneath. The contrast between polished fields and frosted devices enhances the regal presence of the design.

Struck in silver in Proof quality and encapsulated by PCGS, this coin is an outstanding choice for collectors of royal memorabilia, coronation themes, British history, and high-grade world silver commemoratives.
