| Additional information |
Prince George was born 22 July 2013 at St Mary's Hospital, Paddington — the same hospital where both his father and aunt were born. Jersey, as a Crown Dependency, issues its own commemorative coinage independently of the Royal Mint, and royal birth pieces of this kind were produced in coordinated limited runs across several Crown Dependencies simultaneously. The silver proof format here was struck by the Pobjoy Mint under contract, which has handled Jersey's commemorative output for decades.
