The 25-cent coin features the Queen Elizabeth II portrait (Machin or Rank-Broadley effigy depending on year) on the obverse and a schooner (traditional Cayman vessel) on the reverse. Composition: copper-nickel.
If you have a 1982-dated 25-cent Cayman coin, it is either a fantasy piece, a mule/error (extremely unlikely), or misidentified (e.g., a 1982 25-cent from another Caribbean territory like Jamaica or Bahamas). Consult a numismatist or reference Krause Standard Catalog of World Coins for verification.
