| Obverse description | Right-facing crowned effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, rendered in high relief with fine detail. The Queen is depicted wearing the George IV State Diadem Crown, with elaborate scrollwork and jewelled detailing visible on the crown. The portrait is the work of engraver Luigi Senerchia Badia and presents a mature likeness of the sovereign. The legend BAILIWICK OF JERSEY arcs around the upper field, while ELIZABETH II and the date 2016 appear along the left side. A raised rim frames the composition. |

Struck to mark Elizabeth II's 90th birthday in 2016, this issue appeared the same year Jersey produced an unusually dense run of commemorative crown-sized pieces, most sharing the same Pobjoy Mint production contract. The nickel brass composition was chosen to keep the proof version accessible in price while visually distinguishing it from the silver and gold variants in the same release program.
