| Additional information |
This issue commemorates the 1994 marriage of Lady Helen Windsor to Timothy Taylor — a wedding that received considerably less public attention than earlier royal events but was nonetheless marked by several Caribbean nations with bullion-adjacent commemoratives. Jamaica's program through the mid-1990s targeted the collector market rather than circulation, and pieces like this one were sold directly through numismatic channels at a premium over melt.
The .583 fineness is 14-karat gold, a deliberate cost-reduction choice that kept premiums accessible without dropping below the threshold many collectors accept for gold commemoratives.
