| Obverse description | Right-facing crowned effigy of Queen Elizabeth II after Arnold Machin's portrait, depicting the Queen wearing a tiara and a lightly draped neckline. The finely detailed hair is rendered with flowing wave lines beneath the pearl-set crown. The legend ELIZABETH II arcs along the left periphery and JAMAICA along the right, with the date 1981 positioned at the base of the field between two pellets. The engraver's initials appear as a small mark to the lower left of the bust. |

| Additional information |
Issued to mark the July 1981 marriage of Prince Charles and Lady Diana Spencer, this is one of the heaviest Commonwealth silver pieces struck for that event — a consequence of Jamaica's decision to produce a genuinely substantial commemorative rather than the lightweight issues many other territories issued. The .925 silver content and the sheer mass of the planchet put it closer to a medal than a coin in practical terms, and it almost certainly never circulated.
