Island of Jersey is the largest of the Channel Islands and is predominantly loyal to the British monarchy. Even though Jersey has its own currency British pounds are also very much in circulation. Jersey has its own financial, legal and judicial systems but United Kingdom is responsible for the defense of Jersey.
On 1st June, 2012 Jersey post issued the very first official Achromatic Holographic portrait of Her Majesty, The Queen as part of Diamond jubilee celebrations. Achromatic means free of colour, which means black and white only.
In this portrait she is wearing a black colour dress with white pearl necklace. The diadem she is wearing in this portrait has 1333 diamonds and 169 pearls. This diadem is the one she is wearing in almost all the British stamps and she worn this for her coronation procession. The same portrait is appearing on the 100 pound Jersey notes.
