Note: There are four die varieties for this coin consisting of four obverse dies paired with a single reverse dies. Differences can be noted by comparing the placement of the one (over a zero) in the date.

• Type I: The spacing between the four and the one in the date is 0.78 mm (the one is over the right portion of the zero).
• Type II: Same as Type I with striations (vertical lines from the hair knot parallel to the neck).
• Type III: The spacing between the four and the one in the date is 0.52 mm (the one is over the left portion of the zero).
• Type IV: Same as Type III with striations (vertical lines from the hair knot parallel to the neck).

On the 1841 coins, the last one in the date is struck over a zero. The obverse die was also used for the Gibraltar 1841 proof one quart and the 1842 one quart circulation issues. The effigy (but not the legend) appears to be the one used on the 1839 Isle of Man farthing. There are proof examples for both issues of 1841 and 1861. However, the 1861 issue exists only as a proof issue. For the 1861 Proof coins, examples exists in both copper and bronze. The bronze proof coins of 1861 are extremely scarce.

Note: There are three die varieties for this coin consisting of three obverse dies paired with two reverse dies. One die has striations.

• Type I: The 18 in the date has been slightly repunched. The letters of BRITANNIAR are clear and distinct. The E in REGINA has been repunched. The spacing between the numeral "2" and the rim is 0.63 mm.
• Type II: Both the ones in the date have been repunched.  The IT of BRITANNIAR is repunched.
  Striations are also visible. The spacing between the numeral "2" and the rim is 0.63 mm.
• Type III: In addition to the eight, both the ones in the date have been slightly repunched.
  Multiple letters have been repunched including the BRITA of BRITANNIAR. The spacing between the numeral "2" and the rim is 0.90 mm.

Note: There are three varieties for this coin.

• Type I: The spacing between the fours in the date is 0.20 mm known as narrow date. The bar in the fraction 1⁄13 has a nominal length.
• Type II: The spacing between the fours in the date is 0.40 mm known as wide date. The bar in the fraction 1⁄13 has a nominal length.
• Type III: The spacing between the fours in the date is 0.40 mm known as wide date. The bar in the fraction 1⁄13 has a long length.

As with several other Jersey coins, there seems to be a difference of opinion on the correct mintage figures for the Jersey 1844 penny. In his book, The Coins of the British Commonwealth of Nations Part 1, European Territories, Major F. Pridmore states that the mintage of the 1844 Jersey one thirteenth of a shilling as 27,040. The 1841 had 116,480 coins minted, while the other issues each had a mintage of 173,333. This would make the 1844 the key of the series. Krause and other leading publications have repeated these numbers. However, according to Royal Mint documents, the correct mintage figure of 1844 coin is 145,600.

Note: There are seven die varieties for this coin, consisting of seven obverse dies paired with three reverse dies. Several obverse dies have striations.

• Type I: The 5 is significantly repunched. The last 1 has been repunched. The TAT in STATES is clear. The six in 1/26 is clear. The LL of SHILLING has been realigned.
• Type II: Similar to Type 1, but striations are visible on Date side.
• Type III: The 8 is significantly repunched. Striations are visible on Date side. Both Ts in STATES has been repunched. The six in 1/26 is clear. The LL of SHILLING is crooked.
• Type IV: The date is clear. Both Ts in STATES has been repunched. The six in 1/26 is clear. The LL of SHILLING is crooked.
• Type V The date has been repunched. Striations are visible on Date side. Only the first T in STATES has been repunched. The six in 1/26 is clear. The LL of SHILLING is crooked.
• Type VI: The date has been crudely recut. Striations are visible on Date side. Only the first T in STATES has been repunched. The six in 1/26 is clear. The LL of SHILLING is crooked.
• Type VII: The last 1 has been repunched. Striations are visible on Date side. Only the first T in STATES has been repunched. The six in 1/26 is clear. The LL of SHILLING is crooked.

Year: 1858. Weight: 16.96g [17.456g]. Mintage: 173,333 + N/A Proof. The displayed coin is Type IV.

Note:  For the 1/13 Shilling 1858, there are five types.

• Type I: The spacing between the eight and the five in the date is 0.61 mm. The one in the date has been significantly repunched. The one has been repunched over a small one.
• Type II: The spacing between the eight and the five in the date is 0.77 mm. In fraction 1⁄13, the one has been repunched multiple times and the three has also been repunched.
• Type III: Same as Type II. Striations are present (vertical lines from the hair knot parallel to the neck).
• Type IV: The spacing between the eight and the five in the date is 0.61 mm. In fraction 1⁄13, the one has been repunched multiple times and the three has also been repunched.
• Type V: Same as Type IV. Striations are present (vertical lines from the hair knot parallel to the neck).

Note: For the 1861 half penny there are six die varieties consisting of five obverse dies paired with three reverse dies.

• Type I: The spacing between the one and the eight in the date is 1.02 mm. The spacing between the six and the one is 0.66 mm. The eight in the date has been significantly repunched, which gives appearance of a dash. A short numerator in the fraction 1/26 is present. The two in the fraction has been repunched.
• Type II: Similar to Type I, but striations are visible on Date side.
• Type III: The spacing between the one and the eight in the date is 0.92 mm. The spacing between the six and the one is 0.55 mm. Possible die crack near date exists. The one and eight have been slightly repunched. A tall numerator in the 1/26 fraction is present. The 2 in the fraction is round.
• Type IV: Same as Type III but striations are present. Straight striations exist back of the neck. A short numerator in the 1/26 fraction is present. The two in the fraction has been repunched.

The weight of this coin corresponds with the English bronze halfpenny but the size is 1.2 mm smaller. There are no initials of the designer on the truncation. The denomination now appears as words instead of a fraction. There are several die cracks on some of the dies used for the 1866 issue, Striations are visible on the obverse of the 1866 and 1870 issues due to die clashing. On the 1871 issue, the leopards have incuse spots and the shield is redecorated. Most 1871 coins are weakly struck.

Note:  For the 1/13 Shilling 1866, there are five types.

• Type I: The spacing between the sixes in the date is 0.95 mm. The sixes are in alignment. A die crack is visible before the date.
• Type II: Same as Type I, but with striations.
• Type III: The spacing between the sixes in the date is 0.88 mm. The digits have been repunched.
• Type IV: The spacing between the sixes in the date is 0.76 mm.
• Type V: The spacing between the sixes in the date is 0.67 mm. Last six is in a more upright position. A strong die crack is visible above "EE" in THIRTEENTH.

Although the weight corresponds with the English bronze penny, the size is 1.6 mm smaller. Unlike the one twenty-sixth of a shilling coin, the initials of L.C.W. for Leonard Charles Wyon are incused on the truncation. The denomination now appears as a word instead of a fraction. Striations are visible on the obverse of all three coins. On some varieties of the 1870 issue, many items are repunched. There are two varieties for the 1866 proof coin, with and without LCW on the bust.

• Type V: The spacing between the eight and the seven in the date is 0.53 mm. The spacing between the seven and the zero in the date is 0.57 mm. The eight is slightly higher than the seven. The seven has been slightly repunched.
• Type VI: The spacing between the eight and the seven in the date is 0.70 mm. The spacing between the seven and the zero in the date is 0.56 mm. The eight and the seven are in nice alignment.

In The Standard Catalog of World Coins, Krause states the mintages for both the half penny (1/26 Shilling) and penny (1/13 Shilling) for 1870 and 1871 as 160,000. Unfortunately, Krause used 12 pence to the shilling instead of the correct 13 pence to the shilling to compute their numbers. Pridmore, Marshall-Fraser, and McCammon all agree that the correct number should be 173,333.

Note:  For the 1/24 Shilling 1877, there are eight types. Each has the H mint mark in a different location. Also note the alignment and the various repunched letters of BRITANNIAR for each type.

• Type 1: The star is oddly shaped. The second N in BRITANNIAR has been repunched.
• Type II: Same as Type 1, but striations are visible.
• Type III: The H mintmark is centered and is in a low position. The A and the I in BRITANNIAR have been repunched.
• Type IV: The H mintmark is centered. The BR in BRITANNIAR has been repunched.

Year: 1888. Weight: 9.27g [9.50g]. Mint: British Royal Mint. Mintage: 180,000. The displayed coin is Type III.

Note: For the 1888 Penny there are seven varieties.

• Type I: The top left ray of the star is broken. The spacing between the eight and the letter N is 1.32 mm. The spacing between the digits "88" is 0.40 mm. The 88 is misalgined; last 8 is higher and far from N in SHILLING.
• Type II: The top left ray of the star is broken. The spacing between the eight and the letter N is 1.01 mm. The spacing between the digits "88" is 0.49 mm. The 88 is misalgined; last 8 is higher and close to N in SHILLING.
• Type III: The top left ray of the star is broken. The spacing between the eight and the letter N is 1.32 mm. The spacing between the digits "88" is 0.37 mm. The 88 is well aligned at the same height.
• Type IV: same as Type III, but striations are also visible.
• Type V: The top left ray of the star is reworked and striations are visible. The spacing between the eight and the letter N is 1.32 mm. The spacing between the digits "88" is 0.42 mm. The 88 is slightly out of alignment.
• Type VI: The top left ray of the star is complete. The spacing between the eight and the letter N is 1.32 mm. The spacing between the digits "88" is 0.42 mm. The 88 is slightly out of alignment.

There seems to be a difference of opinion on the correct mintage of various Jersey coins. For this grouping, the Jersey 1888 penny and half penny figures are in question. Krause and Pridmore state the mintages as 180,000 for the penny and 120,000 for the half penny. McCammon's and Marshall-Fraser's numbers are 195,000 and 130,000. In 1888, £750 of pennies and £250 of half pennies were ordered from the Royal Mint. Their numbers are computed based upon the old 13 pence to the shilling instead of the correct 12 pence to the shilling. In 1887 French bronze coins were once again declared not to be legal tender in Jersey. On some examples of the 1877 H and the 1888 one twenty-fourth of a shilling coins, striations are visible on the obverse due to die clashing.
Proofs exist for the 1877, 1877H, and 1894 coins.

Year: 1894. Weight: 9.32g [9.50g]. Mint: British Royal Mint. Mintage: 180,000 + N/A Proofs. The displayed coin is Type III.

Note: For the 1884 Penny there are four varieties.

• Type I: The spacing between the nine and the four in the date is 0.47 mm. The spacing between the four and the letter N is 0.77 mm.
• Type II: The spacing between the nine and the four in the date is 0.47 mm. The spacing between the four and the letter N is 0.53 mm.
• Type III: The spacing between the nine and the four in the date is 0.47 mm. The spacing between the four and the letter N is 0.64 mm. The date is in a high position compared to the N. The nine has been repunched.
• Type IV: The spacing between the nine and the four in the date is 0.31 mm (very close). The spacing between the four and the letter N is 0.80 mm.

The displayed coin is Type IV.

Note: For the 1909 half penny there are two varieties. The difference is in the placement of the date.

• Type I: The date is a lower position with respect to second "I" in SHILLING. The zero in the date has been repunched.
• Type II: The date is a higher position with respect to second "I" in SHILLING. The "U" in FOURTH has been repunched.

Note: This coin has only one variety. There are eight dots below the orb in the center of the crown. The letters “FTH” in “TWELFTH” are out of alignment.

Note: For the 1923 half penny there is only one die variety. The order for the 1926 half pence started on March 3, 1926 and was completed on March 17, 1926 at a cost to the Royal Mint of £58/15/9.The spelling of the denomination is now “ONE TWENTYFOURTH OF A SHILLING” instead of “ONE TWENTY-FOURTH OF A SHILLING.”.

Note: For the 1923 One penny there are three varieties. The difference is the placement of the date.

• Type 1: The spacing between the one and the nine in the date is 0.62 mm. The one and the nine are in alignment. Most specimens have a die crack in front of the S in STATES.
• Type 2: The spacing between the one and the nine in the date is 0.70 mm. Most specimens have a die crack beneath the N in ONE. The nine has a slightly higher position relative to the one.
• Type 3: The spacing between the one and the nine in the date is 0.75 mm. The nine has a slightly lower position relative to the one.

Note: For the 1923 One penny there is only one die variety.

If you review the Royal Mint documents concerning the 1923 and 1926 issues, you will determine the reason for the mintage of only 82,800 coins for the 1926 penny. On October 31, 1922 the States authorize an issue of copper coins to not exceed £3000. Using recalled French coins, the Royal Mint produced £1255 in pence and £150 in halfpence. Three years later the States requested, “whether it would be possible to have minted £595 of Jersey Copper similar to that of 1923. This amount represents the balance of £3000. However doing the math £1255+£150+£595 = £2000 and not £3000. It seems that the Finance Committee of the States of Jersey didn't do their math correctly. The 1926 Jersey penny (1/12 Shilling) is one of the key coins of this series because of a math error! The order for the 1926 pence started on February 24, 1926 and was completed on March 10, 1926 at a cost to the Royal Mint of £82/4/6.

Note: For the 1926 One penny there is only one die variety.

The 1926 Jersey penny (1/12 Shilling) is one of the key coins of this series because of a math error in 1923. The order for the 1926 pence started on February 24, 1926 and was completed on March 10, 1926 at a cost to the Royal Mint of £82/4/6. Proofs exist for the 1926 coins.

Note: For the 1931 half penny there is only one die variety. The order for the 1931 half pence started on May 27, 1931 and was completed on June 03, 1931 at a cost to the Royal Mint of £92/11/2.

Note: For the 1931 One penny there is only one die variety. The order for the 1931 pence started on May 13, 1931 and was completed on June 03, 1931 at a cost to the Royal Mint of £224/6/8.

There are two types:

• Type I: 177 (London) denticles (circular dots) at the border on George V's portrait side.
• Type II: 178 (Calcutta) denticles (circular dots) at the border on George V's portrait side.

Note:

• The order for the 1933 half pence started on December 20, 1933 and was completed on January 03, 1934 at a cost to the Royal Mint of £51/19/11.
• The order for the 1933 One penny started on December 20, 1933 and was completed on January 03, 1934 at a cost to the Royal Mint of £202/19/11. The 1933 issue includes the well known “English” and “Indian” obverse dies of George V pennies.

Note: The order for the 1935 half pence started on June 19, 1935 and was completed on July 12, 1935 at a cost to the Royal Mint of £51/1/2.

There are two types:

• Type I: The spacing between the three and the five in the date is 0.58 mm.
• Type II: The spacing between the three and the five in the date is 0.34 mm.

Note:

• The order for the 1935 half pence started on June 19, 1935 and was completed on July 12, 1935 at a cost to the Royal Mint of £51/1/2.
• The order for the 1935 pence started on June 12, 1935 and was completed on July 12, 1935 at a cost to the Royal Mint of £198/13/2.

• Type II: The spacing between the three and the seven in the date is 0.37 mm.

Note: The order for the 1937 pence started on November 03, 1937 and was completed on November 17, 1937 at a cost to the Royal Mint of £199/6/10.

Year: 1947. Weight: 9.62g [9.50g]. Mint: British Royal Mint. Mintage: 444,000 + N/A Proofs. The displayed coin is Type II.

There are three types:

• Type I: The spacing between the four and the seven in the date is 0.70 mm.
• Type II: The spacing between the four and the seven in the date is 0.59 mm.
• Type III: The seven with respect to the four is at a higher position than the previous types.

Note: This commemorative issue owes its existence to Mr. J. Wilfrid du Pre of the Societe Jersiaise. In 1949, the coins were first minted for the anniversary of the Liberation of the Island from the German Occupation on May 09, 1945. The same coin were also minted in 1950 and 1952. When India became independent in 1947, the King gave up his title of Emperor of India (IND IMP) and this title was removed from coins For this issue, there is only one die variety.

Note: The Coinage Act of 1951 and the Coinage Act of 1953 authorized this coinage. This issue was minted in 1954. Although the Coinage Act of 1953 authorized the issue of one twenty-fourth of a shilling coins, none were minted.

Note: In 1957 the coinage was re-designed with a couple of minor but important changes. Since there were adverse comments on the Queen's name appearing upside down, the effigy is now smaller and moved downward, while the legend is now centered around the top. For the reverse, the title of the Island is now “THE BAILIWICK OF JERSEY.” This modified effigy design was intended solely for use in Jersey. The colonial territories using the crowned effigy continued to use the standard design. The Coinage Act of 1956 authorized the 1957 issue. The Coinage Act of 1964 authorized the 1964 issue.

Note: One fourth of a shilling coins were legal for a payment of an amount not exceeding two shillings. Similar to the 1960 penny, the total mintage for the proof coins is 3,600. Most sources report a mintage of 4,200 for this proof only issue which is incorrect.

Note: After the execution of Charles I in 1649, Jersey was the first place to proclaim his son King Charles II. (It was not until the end of the English Civil War in 1660, that he was actually crowned king in England.) On November 28, 1663, King Charles II presented to the Bailiff of Jersey the Royal Mace in gratitude for the loyalty and kindness he received during his two stays on the Island during the Civil War. The Royal Mace is considered by many as one of the finest maces of the 17th century. It consists of 11 pieces and is made of silver gilt. The mace is 4' 9.5" long and weighs over 237 ounces (14 pounds, 13 ounces). This coin commemorates his stay in Jersey.

The Coinage Act of 1961 authorized this coinage. In 1961 1,200 proof coins were made. A first order of 800 coins was completed by the end of February, while a second order of 400 coins was completed late in September. In 1962 1,000 proof coins were made. In 1963 1,400 proof coins were made. The total mintage for the proof coins is 3,600. Krause has reported mintage of 4,200 for this proof issue, and is incorrect.

Royal Mint accidentally used a wrong obverse die (legends below Queen Elizabeth II's protrait) when minting the 1960 proof sets. At first glance, the incorrect die appears to be the one used on the 1945 Liberation issue. However, the Royal Mint destroyed these dies when the new design was introduced in 1957. The incorrect die is a British Caribbean Territories two cents die. The British Caribbean Territories two cents coin was the only coin of the same size, weight and alloy of the Jersey penny and incidentally had the inscription below the effigy. The original coin has space at the bottom of Queen Elizabeth's portrait but the 2 cent Caribbean coin had space above Queen Elizabeth's portrait. Although proof specimens of the British Caribbean Territories two cents coin and the Jersey penny were struck at the Royal Mint in each of the years 1961, 1962, and 1963, there was only one time, viz. from August the 8th through the 22nd, 1961 when obverse dies of both coins were held in the coin processing room die store. Evidently it was during this time period when the Royal Mint manufactured eighteen two cents proof coins for the Mint Museum, which this die was inadvertently used for the Jersey coins. As for the number of coins produce, an exact number is impossible to determine. However, it would be reasonable to assume that some coins were produced after August 22 and until late September when the order was completed. Also, we can assume that some coins were produced before August 8 and that striking continued concurrently with the striking of the Caribbean two cents coins. These mule coins are a tiny sub-set of the total mintage and thus, this coin is a modern rarity.

Note: As early as August 21, 1964 the Treasurer of the States, F.N. Padgham, had contacted the Royal Mint concerning the production of this particular crown. The initial requirements were: pieces to be cupro-nickel, milled, same weight and size as U.K. crowns. Obverse and reverse designs to be similar to Jersey penny but with inscription “BAILIWICK OF JERSEY - FIVE SHILLINGS - 1066-1966”. 100,000 pieces for general circulation 30,000 pieces from polished dies were required. After reviewing two designs, the States on April 20, 1965, made two suggestion First, the States desired a decrease in the size of the shield since it was rather big. Second, the States requested the lettering to be similar to that of the 1870 penny (so much so that an 1870 penny was forwarded to the mint for review.) Of the two designs, the Royal Mint adapted sketch “B” with the two modifications. The first modification was to reverse the positions of “BAILIWICK OF JERSEY” and “FIVE SHILLINGS” so that the former was below the shield and the latter above it. The second modification was to slightly reduce the size of the lettering. The cost of a proof set to the States was 5/- for each coin and 3/6 for the case. Originally, the Mint quoted the States a price of 2/6d for each crown, however the States wanted a “Grade 4” coin versus a “Grade 3.” Per the Royal Mint documents, “It is essential that these proof coins should be acceptable in America and we are therefore agreeable to them being produced by the former method and are prepared to pay the extra price of 2/6d per coin.”2 In 1967 British dealers were selling the Jersey proof crown set for around £4. The cost of the general circulation issue was £40/10/0 per thousand. These coins were “going so well” that an additional 200,000 pieces were ordered on May 31, 1966.

The reverse design by Bernard Sindall is the Royal and Ancient castle of Mont Orgueil, which stands above Gorey Harbour and was for centuries the residence of the Lords, Keepers and Governors of Jersey. Its name, meaning Mount Pride, was given to it by Thomas, Duke of Clarence, brother of Henry V, who was impressed by its unique position and great strength. In 1966, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, transferred ownership of Mont Orgueil Castle (and Elizabeth Castle) from the Crown to the people of Jersey on condition that the castles were to be maintained as historic monuments although they had already been in the care of the Island since 1923. On 6th July 1996, the Lieutenant Governor - The Queen's representative in the Island - presented the keys of both castles to the Bailiff. In accordance with the specified condition, Mont Orgueil has since undergone extensive restoration work to help ensure its historic past is not forgotten.
