Cayman Islands 1 Dollar 1987 FM

4 berichten
The Numista catalog matches the Krause description of the reverse of the Cayman Islands 1 dollar 1987 FM, and says that it is a "Map of the islands".

This does not match my coin. Is there another type for this year?

Numista indicates that the mintage is only 317 pieces.
Colnect lists that type as being yours: https://colnect.com/en/coins/coin/98662-1_Dollar_Pineapple-1972~Today_-_Numismatic_Products-Cayman_Islands

I suspect it's another Krause typo that then made its way to numista since the listing was copied from Krause.
That is the first time I have read of a coin minted in London, but using the Franklin Mint FM mintmark!

Thank you for the confirmation.
In earlier editions of Krause (1999) the description is as follows:



which is:



It's a bit of a mystery:
- There is no 1987FM "Pineapple" coin in Krause.
- There is no FM mintmark on the 1987 "Map of the islands" coin in Krause.
- Very strange the Royal Mint in London would struck a coin with the private Franklin Mint FM mintmark like Colnect says.
- Maybe your coin is a mule with a KM# 92 obverse and a KM# 74 reverse. Hard to believe because you would expect proof coins with such a low mintage to be controlled each and every one of them.

Maybe the explanation is simple and it's another mistake in Krause and there is also a 1987FM "Pineapple" and even a 1988 like Colnect says.
