| Obverse description | Frosted effigy of Queen Elizabeth II facing right, rendered in high relief against a polished field. The legend encircles the portrait, with the designer's initials RDM and the date 1997 incorporated within the inscription. The portrait presents the Queen in mature likeness consistent with the Raphael Maklouf effigy style adapted for this commemorative issue. |

| Additional information |
Issued to mark the 50th wedding anniversary of Elizabeth II and Prince Philip in November 1997, this is the silver variant of a dual-composition release — the base metal version (KM#100) was the circulating commemorative, while this .925 piece was produced strictly for the collector market. Jersey's small population and limited striking infrastructure meant these commemoratives were typically contracted through the Royal Mint or specialist private mints, keeping production numbers modest relative to larger Commonwealth issuers.
