Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design on the reverse side, which showcases a representation of the Jersey coat of arms, featuring three lions passant guardant (a symbol of the island's connection to Normandy) and a shield with the motto "Virtus Nosce" (Latin for "Knowledge is Power"). This design was specifically created for the Jersey issue of the coin and sets it apart from other 5 pence coins minted during the same period.
