| Additional information |
Jersey's 1989 pound series depicted parish churches across the island, each denomination variant assigned to a specific parish. St. Mary is one of Jersey's smallest parishes — its church, a medieval granite structure, dates to the 12th century. The series was part of a broader push by the States of Jersey to assert a distinct local identity through circulating coinage, separate from mainland British issues, which Jersey has never been obligated to use.
