1 Pound - Elizabeth II Brigantine, Century, Gold Proof

Part of Jersey's ongoing series celebrating local maritime heritage, this 1993 gold proof issue coincides with a period when the Bailiwick was actively expanding its commemorative coinage program as a revenue stream — a deliberate policy decision that accelerated through the late 1980s and 1990s. Jersey has no independent central bank; its currency relationship with the United Kingdom means these issues carry legal tender status locally but were produced squarely for the collector market.

KM#90b designates the gold proof variant within a multi-metal release, with the .917 fineness matching the traditional 22-carat standard used for British sovereign coinage.
