Jersey reduced its 5 pence from 23.5 mm to 18 mm in 1990, part of a simultaneous downsizing of the 10 and 50 pence that brought the island's coinage into alignment with the Royal Mint's own reductions for the UK — though Jersey, as a Crown dependency, strikes its own coins independently and was under no obligation to follow London's lead. The decision was nonetheless practical: vending machine compatibility across the Channel mattered commercially.
KM#56.2 distinguishes the Raphael Maklouf portrait used on this run from the Ian Rank-Broadley effigy that replaced it after 1998.
