Marking the 150th Anniversary of Charles Dickens

This remarkable new coin, which has been issued by Jersey Treasury and fully approved by Her Majesty the Queen, features a stunning portrait of Charles Dickens by renowned illustrator Andy Walker, along with engraved text “1812 Charles Dickens 1870”. The obverse features the fifth portrait of Her Majesty the Queen, designed by Royal Mint engraver Ian Rank Broadley FRBS.
