The denomination TEN PENCE arcs along the upper periphery, while the word POPPY appears in the lower field beneath the bloom, serving as a commemorative inscription honoring remembrance. |

| Additional information |
Jersey issued this piece as part of its annual Remembrance series, which the island has treated as a recurring commemorative programme rather than a one-off release. The occupation of Jersey by German forces from 1940 to 1945 gives the island's poppy issues a particular local weight — nearly the entire civilian population endured five years under Nazi administration, an experience absent from mainland British commemorative thinking.
