10 Pounds - Elizabeth II Lifetime of Service

Issued to mark Elizabeth II's 85th birthday, this piece belongs to a wave of large-format silver commemoratives Jersey produced during the jubilee years. The denomination is nominal — £10 face value on an island whose currency, while technically distinct from sterling, has always traded at parity with it.

At 141.7 grams, this is five troy ounces of sterling silver. The KM#248 attribution places it firmly in Jersey's modern commemorative sequence, a program that accelerated sharply after the Royal Mint outsourced much of its commemorative work to third-party minting houses in the 2000s.
