Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique reverse design, created by artist Eric James Nicolson, which depicts a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II surrounded by a wreath of Jersey flowers and plants, including the Jersey Lily (Nerine sarniensis) and the Jersey Crab Apple (Malus domestica). This design was specifically commissioned for this coin and is not found on any other coin in the series.
