Interesting fact

The 20 Pence coin from Jersey featuring Elizabeth II (Corbière Lighthouse) is unique in that it has a different design than the standard 20 Pence coin circulating in the United Kingdom. While the UK version features a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, the Jersey version features a picture of the Corbière Lighthouse, a prominent landmark on the island. This makes it a distinct and collectible coin for numismatists and enthusiasts of British coinage.
