Revised design for the second series with more red colour used, in addition the serial numbers for this issue progressively increase in size from small to large, while in previous issues they were in a straight pattern. The B/1 prefix is used on both this 1996 and the 1991 issue.

This was the last issued under the Cayman Islands Currency Board.
