| Additional information |
Jamaica issued this coin to mark fifty years of independence from Britain, declared on August 6, 1962. The .916 fine standard — 22 karat — follows the same fineness used for British sovereigns and the original Krugerrand, a deliberate choice for a former British colonial territory that aligns the piece with a long-established international benchmark rather than the .999 fine standard common to modern bullion issues.
