The Cayman Islands Sea Life Series, first introduced by Scottsdale Mint in 2018, began with the release of a Marlin coin. The collection expanded in 2023 to feature other marine species, such as the Stingray and Loggerhead Turtle. For 2024, fresh designs have been introduced, further highlighting these iconic sea creatures. Right now, 2024 Cayman Islands Sea Life Marlin 1 oz Silver Coins are available at Provident Metals.
Highlights:
Each 2024 Cayman Islands Sea Life Marlin 1 oz Silver Coin features a proof-like finish, combining frosted details with mirrored fields. Coins are available in individual protective flips, with multiples of 20 coins packaged in tubes.
Obverse
On the obverse of 2024 Cayman Islands Sea Life Marlin Silver Coins, you’ll find the national coat of arms for the Cayman Islands. The design features a central shield with three stars over stylized waves, topped with a heraldic lion. Above the shield are a turtle and a pineapple, while the background shows rippling water, a nod to the islands’ maritime heritage. The inscriptions read 2024, CAYMAN ISLANDS, 1 DOLLAR, and 1 TROY OZ 9999 FINE SILVER.
Reverse
The reverse side of these 2024 Sea Life Marlin 1 oz Silver Coins presents the marlin in action, an iconic fish known for its speed and strength. In the Caribbean, marlins play a crucial role in maintaining the marine ecosystem, acting as top predators in the food chain. However, their numbers are under threat from overfishing, both for sport and as accidental catches in commercial fishing. Inscriptions here read CAYMAN ISLANDS and MARLIN.
History
Culturally, the marlin is a symbol of freedom, power, and resilience in the Caribbean. The species has been featured in local art, stories, and maritime traditions for centuries. Ernest Hemingways classic novel The Old Man and the Sea brought further recognition to this majestic fish through its depiction of a fishermans struggle with a marlin in the waters off Cuba.
