20 Pence - Elizabeth II Corbière Lighthouse, Silver Proof

Jersey's 1982 silver proof series marked the island's first sustained use of proof coinage as a collector product distinct from circulation issues. The Corbière lighthouse, completed in 1874, was the first concrete lighthouse built in the British Isles — a distinction that apparently justified its repeated appearance on Jersey coinage well before this issue.

KM#53a is the silver proof counterpart to the circulating cupro-nickel type, struck specifically for sets rather than individual sale.
