| Obverse description | Uncrowned right-facing effigy of King Charles III occupies the central field, rendered in high relief with naturalistic detail to the hair and facial features. The peripheral legend reads CHARLES III · BAILIWICK OF JERSEY, arcing around the upper and lower portions of the heptagonal flan. The date · 2026 · appears in the lower exergual area, flanked by raised dots. The engraver's initials JC appear beneath the portrait. The design follows the standard definitive effigy portrait adopted for post-Elizabethan coinage of the Channel Islands. |

| Additional information |
Concorde's connection to Jersey is marginal at best — the island sits beneath several transatlantic flight paths but was never a scheduled destination. The coin marks the 50th anniversary of Concorde's commercial service, which launched in January 1976 with simultaneous departures from London Heathrow and Paris Charles de Gaulle. Jersey has issued commemorative 50p pieces under the authority of the States since decimalisation in 1971, and this type of licensed commemorative — pairing a British aviation milestone with a Scottish landmark for a Channel Island issuer — reflects the increasingly loose thematic logic of modern crown-dependency commemorative programs.
