¼ Sovereign - Charles III Queen Elizabeth II Centenary; Gold

Jersey's coinage authority has issued commemorative fractions of the sovereign with some regularity, but this particular piece marks the centenary of Elizabeth II's birth in 1926 — an occasion that several British dependencies are treating as a significant commemorative trigger despite her death in 2022. The pairing of Charles III as the reigning monarch on a coin commemorating his mother's birth year is an arrangement with few precedents in British numismatic practice.
