Here is an odd one from the States of Jersey, a 1/26 of a Shilling, 1851. From what I inderstand the mintage was pretty low with only 173,333 minted. Ben
Ben,that is a very nice coin you have got there.Prior to 1877,there were 13 Jersey Pence in 1 Shilling.From 1877,the currency was reformed to bring it into line with the British system - 12 Pence = 1 Shilling. The term 'States of Jersey' is the name for the island's Parliament.Here's an article; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/States_of_Jersey . Guernsey & Alderney have also got their own local parliaments,which are also called the States as well. Aidan.
