| Reversbeschreibung | The central field of the copper-nickel inner disc depicts a harrowing street scene from the Great Plague of London in 1665, showing two figures in period dress — a plague carter with a shovel and a bell-ringing parish official — set against a brick wall doorway bearing the inscription 'Lord Have Mercy on our Souls' and a banner above reading 'Bring out your Dead'. The outer nickel brass ring carries the commemorative legend THE DIARY of SAMUEL PEPYS arcing across the upper field and THE GREAT PLAGUE · 1665 along the lower arc, separated by small ornamental devices. |

| Zusätzliche Informationen |
Samuel Pepys documented the 1665 plague outbreak in London with clinical detachment — recording death tolls, fleeing acquaintances, and the eerie silence of emptying streets while remaining in the city longer than most of his social class dared. His diary entries from that summer remain the most cited eyewitness account of an epidemic that killed roughly a quarter of London's population in under eighteen months. Jersey, largely insulated from the worst of it, has nonetheless claimed the commemorative ground here.
