1 Sovereign - Charles III Queen Elizabeth II Centenary; Silver

Jersey's coinage authority has issued commemorative sovereigns intermittently since the 1970s, typically timed to royal milestones rather than calendar anniversaries. This piece marks one hundred years from Elizabeth II's birth in April 1926 — a centenary that falls, with some awkwardness, three years into the reign of her successor. The tension between honoring a past monarch and the living coinage authority of Charles III is a recurring administrative reality for Crown dependencies, which retain considerable latitude in issuing commemorative pieces independent of Royal Mint schedules.
