| Reverse description | A stylised dove of peace in flight occupies the centre of the field, its wings outstretched and holding an olive branch; the numeral 100 is incorporated into the body of the bird, with the date 11.11.11 above and the war dates 1914-1918 below. Surrounding the central device are colourised representations of red and black poppy petals scattered across the field. A poetic legend in two parts encircles the design along the outer rim, referencing the Armistice and the return of peace. |

| Additional information |
Jersey's commemorative gold pound issues for the WWI centenary series were produced under the authority of the States of Jersey, which has maintained its own coinage rights as a Crown dependency — separate from both UK and Royal Mint jurisdiction. The centenary program ran across several years, marking individual campaigns and turning points between 2014 and 2018, with 2018 marking the armistice centennial specifically.
The alloy — 22 carat — matches the historic sovereign standard, a deliberate choice for the series rather than the more common .999 used in modern bullion commemoratives.
