| Additional information |
The Tickler was a Jersey-registered schooner that ran a regular cargo and passenger service between Jersey and the French coast in the nineteenth century — the kind of workhorse vessel that defined Channel Island commerce before the steam ferry era. Jersey's 1991 pound series used local maritime subjects rather than the generic heraldic fare most Crown Dependencies defaulted to, a deliberate curatorial choice that distinguished the island's coinage from Guernsey's more conventional approach.
