COINS OF THE JERSEY POUND

The British Crown dependency of Jersey has its own currency, the Jersey pound, which is linked to the pound sterling. As a consequence, the government of Jersey mints its own coins. All coins feature the Queen's head on the obverse, with the following designs on the reverse:

£1 coins have a different design each year. Initially, each new coin featured one of the crests of the 12 parishes of Jersey. These were followed by a series of coins featuring sailing ships built in the island. The motto round the milled edge of Jersey pound coins is: ''Insula Caesarea'' ("island of Jersey" in Latin).
