| Additional information |
Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip visited Bermuda in November 2003 as part of a Caribbean tour marking the Golden Jubilee year, though the jubilee itself had been celebrated the previous year. It was her third visit to the territory. Bermuda, as a British Overseas Territory, issues commemorative coinage with some regularity for royal occasions, typically through the Pobjoy Mint.
KM#130 shares its specification with the standard 28.28g crown-sized format used across dozens of Commonwealth commemoratives of the period, struck by the same contractors for multiple territories simultaneously.
