Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a colorized image of a Highland cow, a heritage breed native to Scotland, on its reverse side. The colorization process involves applying a layer of color to the coin's design using a special technique, which gives the coin a unique and eye-catching appearance. This particular coin is part of a series celebrating the rich cultural heritage of the British Crown dependencies, and the Highland cow is an iconic symbol of Jersey's agricultural history and natural beauty.
