Until 1959, the Cayman Islands were a British colony and we...re subject to the governor of Jamaica. After gaining independence in 1962, the population of the islands voluntarily decided to remain under the protectorate of the British crown, and now the state is considered an overseas possession of England. Until 1972, the means of payment on the islands was the Jamaican dollar, and then their own currency, the Cayman dollar, was introduced.

History reference:
The Syrian pound, sometimes the currency of Syria, is issued by the Central Bank of Syria. In 1920, the Syrian Arab Kingdom was created, but the independent state was only a few months old, after whi...ch its territory was occupied by the French army. In this regard, the Egyptian pound was replaced by the Syrian pound, which was pegged to the French franc at a ratio of 1:20 (1 franc to 20 Syrian pounds). In 1926, the French mandated territory was divided into Lebanon and Syria and the Bank of Syria was renamed the Bank of Syria and Lebanon. It is interesting that the Syrian 10 pounds coin in terms of its characteristics and size completely coincides with the 20 Norwegian kroner coin.
