Jersey, 1/12th Shilling 1960 Brilliant Unc

Yes, it does say 1/12th Shillings... at the time these coins were issued Jersey did not use the Penny but rather the correct equivalent, or 1/12th of a Shilling. After all there were 12 Pennies to the Shilling. The first 1/12th of a Shilling was issued in 1945 under King George VI for the Liberation of Jersey from the Germans in the Second World War. The second coin was issued in 1960 for the 300th anniversary of the accession of King Charles II. This coin is in Brilliant Unc condition and now 64 years old. It is also one of only three commemorative Pennies or 1/12th of a Shilling that were issued.
