Jersey's fractional shilling coinage was struck in London at the Royal Mint under contract, the island having no mint of its own. The 1909 date falls near the end of Edward VII's reign — he died in May 1910 — making this among the last issues bearing his effigy for the denomination. KM#9 had been the island's workhorse small bronze since the type was established in the 1870s under Victoria, with Jersey stubbornly maintaining its own non-decimal shilling subdivisions long after Britain had moved toward standardization pressure.
