| Additional information |
Jersey's gold issues of the early 2000s were struck under contract by the Royal Mint, which handled the bulk of Crown Dependency commemorative coinage during this period. This piece marks the 50th anniversary of the 1953 Coronation — the first British coronation broadcast on television, watched by an estimated 27 million viewers in the UK alone, many on sets borrowed or rented specifically for the occasion.
