| Additional information |
The Falkland Islands' post-2012 coinage series reflects the territory's unusual administrative position: a British Overseas Territory that maintains its own currency, the Falkland Islands pound, pegged at parity with sterling but not interchangeable with it in practice. Jody Clark's fifth portrait of Elizabeth II, introduced across Commonwealth and British Overseas Territory coinages from 2015 onward, reached the Falklands issues on a slightly delayed rollout as the Royal Mint worked through successive territorial contracts.
Nickel plated steel replaced the earlier cupro-nickel composition as part of a broader cost-reduction shift across lower-denomination British and associated coinages in the 2010s.
