50 Pence - Elizabeth II Platinum Jubilee - Animus, Gold Plated

The 2022 Platinum Jubilee marked Elizabeth II's 70th year on the throne — the longest reign in British history and the first platinum jubilee of any British monarch. Jersey, as a Crown Dependency owing allegiance directly to the sovereign rather than to the UK Parliament, has historically issued commemorative coinage with particular frequency around royal milestones. This piece is part of the "Animus" series, a Latin-titled set released by the States of Jersey specifically for the jubilee.

Elizabeth II died on 8 September 2022, three months after jubilee celebrations concluded, making this among the final commemorative issues struck in her honor during her lifetime.
