Jersey's First Coins
Jersey started issuing its own coins in 1841, so it has quite a numismatic history.
We usually have in stock at least a few Jersey coins. The mintage figures tend to be quite low, although perhaps this is to expected with a population of only about 85,000.
Unusual Denominations
At a time when Britain was debating the introduction of decimal coins, Jersey first coins were issued with denominations of 1/13th of a shilling, 1/26 of a shilling, and 1/52nd of a shilling. These were issued from 1841 to 1871. The next issue starting from 1877 changed to 1/12th of a shilling, in line with the normal British system of the time.
