2 Jersey Pounds coin

2 Jersey Pounds (Issued 1998)

The Jersey two pound coin is a bimetallic circulating coin of the Bailiwick of Jersey, matching the size and two-tone construction of the United Kingdom £2 coin so that it passes easily in island commerce. It has a golden-coloured outer ring of nickel-brass around a silver-coloured cupro-nickel centre, with a milled edge, and circulates alongside sterling within the Channel Islands.

On the obverse appears the crowned portrait of Queen Elizabeth II facing right, the sculpture by Ian Rank-Broadley whose initials “IRB” are visible beneath the truncation of the neck. The surrounding legend reads “QUEEN ELIZABETH THE SECOND” above and “TWO POUNDS” below, separated by small dots within the raised rim.

On the reverse, the legend “BAILIWICK OF JERSEY” curves around the top with the date “1998” at the foot. The central design is a wheel-like arrangement of shields, each bearing an emblem, radiating from a small central medallion — a heraldic composition representing the island. A finely textured field fills the spaces between the segments.
