| Additional information |
Issued to mark the fiftieth anniversary of the 1953 coronation, this piece belongs to a wave of Crown Dependency commemoratives that flooded the collector market in the early 2000s. Guernsey, Jersey, and the Isle of Man each produced competing jubilee issues, largely indistinguishable in purpose and aimed squarely at the thematic coin trade rather than circulation.
