This type was issued for the Cayman Islands 1987-90. The reverse features the Great Cayman thrush (Turdus ravidus), now extinct. The island group south of Cuba was long ruled from Jamaica but came under separate administration after Jamaica obtained her independence in 1962. It is now famous as a tax haven and banking center much patronized by drug lords, ousted dictators and others seeking to avoid publicity.
