Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique reversal of the usual order of the Queen's name and title on the obverse side. Instead of the customary "Elizabeth II, Queen of [Jersey/the United Kingdom]," the coin reads "Elizabeth II, Revolution to Restoration - Richard Cromwell." This is a nod to the historical figure of Richard Cromwell, who served as Lord Protector of the Commonwealth of England, Scotland, and Ireland from 1653 to 1659, during a time of great political upheaval in the British Isles. The coin's design highlights the significance of this period in history and serves as a reminder of the complex and sometimes tumultuous path that led to the restoration of the monarchy.
