This commemorative coin is part of a short series, struck by the Royal Mint, celebrating the 19th-century tradition of shipbuilding on Jersey. These coins feature a range of ships and were struck in various finishes.
The Century was a two-masted brigantine launched in 1866 to mark the centenary of C Robin & Co. The sailing ship is shown here in a design by Robert Evans with 'BAILIWICK OF JERSEY' above and 'ONE POUND' below.
The obverse shows Arnold Machin's elegant second definitive coinage portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, facing right, with the date (1993) below and 'QUEEN ELIZABETH THE SECOND' around.
This Jersey One Pound coin is struck in 19.65 grams of solid 22-carat (91.67% fine) gold with a proof finish, measuring 22.5 millimetres in diameter. The edge is milled and inscribed with the words 'CAESARE INSULA'.
Struck by The Royal Mint, this Jersey coin is a limited-edition piece with just 122 known to have been issued, out of a maximum of 250. This example is supplied in the original box of issue with a numbered certificate of authenticity.
