Additional information

Jersey's commemorative program has leaned heavily on large-format silver pieces aimed squarely at the collector market, and this issue fits that pattern without apology. The poppy's association with Remembrance derives from John McCrae's 1915 poem "In Flanders Fields," though the British Legion's adoption of the artificial red poppy as a fundraising symbol didn't begin until 1921, imported from an American initiative by Anna Guérin.

At 155.53 g, this is a five-troy-ounce piece — a format that essentially guarantees it never touched general circulation.
