50 Pence - Charles III Jane Seymour, Colour

Jane Seymour is the only one of Henry VIII's six wives to have received a queen's funeral, dying in October 1537 shortly after delivering the future Edward VI — the male heir Henry had pursued through two divorces and one execution. Guernsey has issued Tudor queens as a running series under Charles III, using selective colour printing on copper-nickel blanks, a technique increasingly common in commemorative issues from Crown Dependencies seeking collector revenue without the cost of precious metal strikes.
