| Reverse description | Central composition featuring the St. Edward's Crown in high relief above the Royal Sceptre with Cross, both rendered with exceptional detail against a deeply mirrored proof field. Below the sceptre rests the quartered Royal Shield of Arms, displaying the three passant guardant lions of England, the rampant lion of Scotland, and the Irish harp. The overall design is framed within a stylised cross-shaped panel with decorative foliate motifs at each cardinal point. The denomination 'TEN POUNDS' appears in two lines to the lower left of the central devices, engraved by Marcel Canioni. |

| Additional information |
Jersey's Golden Jubilee issue appeared a year after the 2002 celebrations, timed instead to coincide with the Coronation's 50th anniversary in June 2003. The delay gave the States of Jersey room to issue a second commemorative cycle from the same jubilee period — a not uncommon strategy among Crown Dependencies looking to maximize a popular reign milestone across multiple product lines.
Gold-plated silver at this size is a format that tends to age poorly; the plating on high-relief contact points wears through within years of handling.
