Additionally, the government permits certain foreign mints operating under its auspices to produce commemorative and bullion coins for investment or collector's use. Many of these come in common bullion sizes, such as one ounce of silver. The loggerhead turtle, part of the Cayman Sea Life Coin Series, is featured on this coin.

The motto, a shield, and a crested helm make up the Cayman Islands Coat of Arms, displayed on the coin's obverse. In the lower two-thirds of the shield are three stars, one for each of the three inhabited islands (Grand Cayman, Little Cayman, and Cayman Brac). Sea-representative wavy bands support the stars. A lion passant guardant, symbolizing Britain, is depicted in the upper third of the shield, walking with its forepaw raised and its body visible from the side. A turtle on a rope coil is positioned above the shield. A pineapple is behind the turtle. The pineapple symbolizes its links to Jamaica, the rope, its traditional thatch-rope industry, and the turtle, its maritime heritage.

Below the shield, on a ribbon, is the island's motto: HE HATH FOUNDED IT UPON THE SEAS. This passage from Psalm 24:2 recognizes the nation's Christian past and connections to the sea. The center's background is textured with waves that resemble the ocean.

The face value, CAYMAN ISLANDS · 1 DOLLAR, and the country's name are outlined in thin, wavy lines around the rim. The issue date is around 2023.

The reverse design shows a loggerhead turtle swimming in the ocean within a rope-encircled center. Above is a sailing vessel and the three stars on the Cayman Islands' coat of arms. The words "LOGGERHEAD TURTLE" and "1 OZ 9999 SILVER" are inscribed below on the rim, which has a texture of thin, wavy lines.
