| Additional information |
Jersey's coinage was interrupted by German occupation from 1940 to 1945, during which the island's pre-war bronze stock was supplanted by locally produced occupation issues. KM#18 pieces struck within the 1937–1947 span but before the invasion are genuinely distinct from post-liberation strikings, though the date range on the type makes attribution to specific political circumstances impossible without archival mint records.
