Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 5 Pounds - Elizabeth II (Golden Arrow) 2004 coin from Jersey is that it features a unique design that showcases the island's rich history and culture. The coin's reverse side features a representation of the "Golden Arrow" ship, which was built in 1854 and was the first steamship to cross the English Channel from Jersey. The ship is depicted in a circular frame, surrounded by a wreath of laurel leaves, and the coin's denomination and year of issue are inscribed at the bottom. The obverse side of the coin features a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, as is customary for coins issued by the British Crown dependencies. This coin is a beautiful representation of Jersey's maritime history and its connection to the British monarchy.
