| Additional information |
Jersey's £2 coin circulated under a dependency arrangement that keeps the island outside the UK but tied to sterling — meaning these pieces are legal tender locally but not accepted by UK banks, a distinction that catches visitors off guard to this day. The fourth portrait of Elizabeth II, by Ian Rank-Broadley, replaced Raphael Maklouf's third effigy across Crown dependencies in 1998 following a coordinated update rather than any island-specific initiative.
KM#102 spans a fourteen-year run, which accounts for the wide variation in strike quality found across dates.
