Issued to mark the centenary of the burial of the Unknown Warrior at Westminster Abbey — November 11, 1920 — this piece draws a direct line between the interment that defined a century of British remembrance and the COVID-disrupted commemorations of 2020. Jersey's modern bullion program frequently issues in this five-troy-ounce format, keeping the weight anchored to a traditional measure even as the designs grow increasingly elaborate.
The selective rose gold plating is applied after striking, a post-mint finishing technique that distinguishes areas of the design without altering the underlying .999 fine substrate.
