| Additional information |
Issued to mark the 1994 royal visit to Jamaica, this was one of the later commemorative strikes produced under the long-running relationship between the Bank of Jamaica and the Royal Mint. By the mid-1990s, Jamaica had been an independent nation for over thirty years, yet the Crown visit still warranted official coinage — a nuance that reflects the island's continued status as a Commonwealth realm under Elizabeth II.
