Jersey's Christmas Alphabet series assigns a letter to each seasonal subject — "M" here for Mince Pies — across a set of themed 10 pence pieces issued as collectibles rather than working currency. The series follows a format Jersey has used repeatedly to generate collector revenue, a practice the Bailiwick has leaned on heavily since the 1980s when it began aggressively differentiating its issues from mainland British coinage.
Nickel plated steel confirms this was never intended for extended circulation.
