Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design, showcasing an image of Queen Elizabeth II on one side and a portrait of Ginger Lacey, a famous British pilot, on the other. This design was created by the artist, Glyn Davies, and was specifically commissioned for this coin. The coin's design is a nod to the rich history of aviation in Jersey, and it serves as a tribute to the brave pilots who have contributed to the island's aviation heritage.
