1858 1/13 SHILLING JERSEY

This 1858 Jersey 1/13 shilling represents a remarkable example of the island's unique monetary system during the mid-Victorian period. The unusual denomination reflects Jersey's distinctive approach to currency subdivision, differing from standard British coinage conventions. Struck during a pivotal era in Channel Islands numismatic history, the piece demonstrates Jersey's monetary independence and specialised minting practices. An exceptional acquisition for collectors of Channel Islands currencies, British insular coinage, and those researching alternative historical denominations. A rare and historically significant artefact that illuminates Jersey's autonomous financial traditions and 19th-century economic identity.
