50 Pence - Elizabeth II Platinum Wedding

Issued to mark the 70th wedding anniversary of Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, this piece falls within Jersey's long-running practice of producing commemorative 50p issues well outside the standard circulating size — a format the island adopted specifically for collector sales rather than circulation. The gold plating on copper-nickel is a cost-sensitive production choice common across Jersey's commemorative output of this period, and the plating adhesion on these pieces is notoriously inconsistent; examples stored in humidity frequently show early separation at the rim.
