One interesting fact about the 1988 Jersey £1 Silver Proof coin is that it features a unique reverse design depicting St. John, the patron saint of Jersey, holding a Bible and a staff. The design was created by sculptor and engraver, John M. St. John, and is not found on any other coin in the series.
