| Additional information |
Issued to mark the death of Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother in March 2002, at age 101. Jersey, as a Crown Dependency, has long issued commemorative gold proofs through the Royal Mint under license, and this piece followed the wave of memorial issues produced across British territories that year. The Queen Mother's connection to the Channel Islands carried particular weight — her visits to Jersey after the German occupation held genuine emotional significance for islanders who had endured five years of isolation from the Crown.
