| Aanvullende informatie |
Issued to mark the fiftieth anniversary of Churchill's death, this is one of the largest commemorative coins Jersey has produced — a five-ounce gold piece struck in 22-carat gold. Jersey's connection to Churchill is particular: the island endured five years of German occupation from 1940 to 1945, and Churchill's decision not to defend the Channel Islands, made within days of France's fall, remains a source of complicated local memory. He judged them indefensible and demilitarized them without consultation.
The occupation lasted until May 9, 1945 — a date still celebrated on the island as Liberation Day.
