Coins of the Jersey pound
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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.

£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).
