Jersey's coinage has always been denominated in fractions peculiar to the island — the shilling divided into 12 pence elsewhere, but into 13 sous in the old Jersey reckoning, making a 1/24 shilling essentially a half-sou. The series KM#13 continued a local tradition dating to the 1840s rather than conforming to British decimal logic.
Production across the 1923–1926 window was handled by the Heaton Mint in Birmingham, as the Royal Mint had little interest in small-denomination colonial bronze of this type during the postwar period.
