50 Pence - Elizabeth II 2nd portrait, large type

Jersey's 50 pence issues of this period were produced under the authority of the States of Jersey, which retains the right to issue its own coinage as a Crown dependency entirely separate from the United Kingdom's Royal Mint output. The "large type" designation distinguishes this from the reduced-size 50 pence introduced across British coinage in 1997, when the smaller format was adopted simultaneously by Jersey alongside the UK — effectively ending this issue's production run at the same stroke of administrative policy.
