| Reverse description | Color photographic reproduction of an official portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, taken by Camera Press London in 1970, commemorating the Queen's 95th birthday. The photograph was made during the year that marked the 200th anniversary of Captain Cook's voyage to Australia, a period during which the Queen undertook extensive tours of Australia, New Zealand, and Canada, recounted in her Christmas Broadcast of that year. The legend HER MAJESTY QUEEN ELIZABETH II and the numeral 95 appear within the design. |

| Additional information |
Jersey has issued commemorative 50 pences with considerable frequency since the denomination's introduction following decimalisation in 1971, but the photographic collection format — applying a photographic reproduction to a coin surface — remains a technically demanding process requiring a precise enamel or printing layer bonded to the planchet. The adhesion quality on silver-plated cupro-nickel varies from issue to issue and is worth examining closely on any example.
