| Additional information |
Issued to mark Elizabeth II's Golden Jubilee, this piece commemorates fifty years on the throne — a reign that, for the Falkland Islands, carried particular weight after the 1982 Argentine invasion and the British military response that kept the islands under Crown sovereignty. The Falklands' loyalty to the Crown during that conflict was explicit and vocal, making jubilee issues from this territory something more than ceremonial.
The .1 suffix in the KM reference distinguishes the colored variant from its uncolored counterpart, KM#81a.
