Jersey 1911 1/12 Shilling Extra Fine (EF-40)

The monetary system of the States of Jersey differs slightly from the standard British coinage, despite using the pound-shilling-pence framework, as they preferred to express values as fractions of a shilling rather than with pence. In the British system, 1 shilling equals 12 pence, thus 1/12 shillings would equal 1 penny.

Obverse: Crowned bust of Victoria facing left, with the legend around, and a star below.
Reverse: A pointed shield bearing three lions separates the date, with the denomination below, and legend above.
