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 1/24 Shilling coin is that it features a unique design, with a portrait of King Edward VII on one side and the Jersey coat of arms on the other. The coin was minted during a time when Jersey was still a British Crown dependency, and it is a rare and valuable collector's item today.
