Comment

Some of the old coinage was returned to the Royal Mint for melting to be used for this issue and probably accounts for the streaky appearance on some of the coins.

Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1909 Jersey 1/12 Shilling coin is that it features a unique design on its reverse side. Instead of the usual depiction of a crown or coat of arms, the coin features a representation of a Jersey cow, which is a breed of cattle that is native to the island. This design was chosen to represent the island's agricultural heritage and is a distinctive feature of the coin.
