| Reverse description | The reverse features a stylised design by Christine Ellingham commemorating the Golden Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II. Five uniformed figures in tricorn hats, rendered in a flat, graphic style, stand in a row across the centre of the field. To the upper left, a bouquet of poppies is depicted, while to the upper right stands a war memorial tower with figures at its base. The royal cypher 'EIIR' within a beaded circle appears at lower right. The denomination 'FIVE POUNDS' is inscribed vertically along the right field, and the commemorative legend 'THE GOLDEN JUBILEE' runs along the lower arc. |

| Additional information |
Issued fifty years after the June 1953 coronation, this piece belongs to the wave of commemoratives produced across Crown Dependencies and Commonwealth territories for the Golden Jubilee year. Jersey, as a Crown Dependency, holds a constitutional relationship with the monarch distinct from both the United Kingdom and its overseas territories — the Duchy connection predates English parliamentary authority on the island entirely. That distinction gave the States of Jersey independent latitude in issuing commemorative coinage throughout Elizabeth II's reign.
KM#119a designates the silver proof variant, struck to a different specification than the accompanying base-metal issue released the same year.
