50 Pence - Elizabeth II 90th Birthday Queen Elizabeth II

Jersey issued this piece as part of a broader wave of Commonwealth commemoratives marking Elizabeth II's 90th birthday in April 2016 — a milestone that made her the longest-lived British monarch in history, surpassing Queen Victoria's record set in 2001. Gold-plated steel in this weight class is characteristic of the budget commemorative market of the 2010s, produced for collectors unlikely to spend near spot price but wanting shelf presence.

KM#323 is one of several Jersey issues from the same year, the States having maintained a vigorous commemorative program since gaining full issuing authority in 1952.
