Comment
The lighthouse at La Corbière sits on a rock 500m from the shore at the most south-westerly point of Jersey, in the parish of St Brelade, and is the first lighthouse in the British Isles to be constructed of concrete. Although Krause and Jersey Coins and Banknotes both denote this coin as being a commemorative of the 100th anniversary, the lighthouse was actually completed in November 1873 and formally lit in April 1874.Interesting fact
