Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 2009 Jersey 1 Sovereign - Elizabeth II (King Henry VIII) coin is that it features a unique double-effigy design, with both Queen Elizabeth II and King Henry VIII depicted on the obverse side. This is a nod to the historical connection between the two monarchs, as King Henry VIII was the last English king to be crowned in Jersey, in 1509.
