| Obverse description | Right-facing effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, depicted wearing the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland Tiara. The portrait, rendered in high relief typical of proof coinage, is attributed to the Ian Rank-Broadley design. The peripheral legend reads ELIZABETH II BAILIWICK OF JERSEY 2002, with the designer's initials IRB appearing below the truncation of the bust. |

| Additional information |
Issued to mark the Golden Jubilee of Elizabeth II's accession, this piece was part of a coordinated release across multiple Crown Dependencies and Commonwealth territories in 2002 — one of the largest simultaneously issued commemorative programs in British numismatic history. Jersey, as a Crown Dependency rather than a Commonwealth realm, issues coins under its own authority while retaining the British monarch as head of state, a constitutional distinction that occasionally produces subtle differences in titulature from equivalent UK issues.
The "Work Continues" title references a phrase attributed to the Queen herself during Jubilee addresses.
