| Obverse description | Right-facing crowned effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, depicted wearing the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland Tiara, as sculpted by Ian Rank-Broadley. The legend encircles the portrait, reading ELIZABETH II BAILIWICK OF JERSEY, with the date 2006 and the engraver's initials IRB positioned in the field below the bust. The portrait is rendered in high relief with fine detail to the crown and facial features characteristic of Rank-Broadley's fourth definitive effigy. |

| Additional information |
David MacKay served as Chief Minister of Jersey from 2005 until his death in office in 2006 — one of the shortest tenures in the island's modern governmental history. This commemorative was issued the same year, making it an unusually immediate tribute rather than the retrospective recognition more common to such pieces.
