5 Shillings - George III States of Jersey; Pewter

Jersey issued this pewter 5 shillings piece in 2007 as part of a retrospective series revisiting historical denominations tied to the island's occupation-era coinage. The original 5 shilling denomination had no real circulation history on Jersey — the island operated largely on a French livre system until the 19th century — making this a commemorative denomination in the strictest sense, referencing a British monetary unit that never fully embedded itself in local commerce.
