Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1997 Jersey 5 Pound Silver Golden Wedding Anniversary coin is that it features a unique double portrait of Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, designed by sculptor Ian Rank-Broadley. This coin was issued to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Queen's accession to the throne and her marriage to Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh. The coin's design is particularly notable for its use of two different metals - silver and gold - to create a striking visual effect. The coin's obverse features the Queen's portrait in silver, while the reverse features Prince Philip's portrait in gold. This innovative design was a first for a British coin and adds to the coin's collectibility and numismatic value.
