| Reverse description | The copper-nickel centre field depicts a group portrait of Sir Winston Churchill standing centrally among four figures of diverse background, evoking the theme of national unity and legacy. Churchill is shown wearing his characteristic overcoat and hat, flanked by two women, a child, and another man, all rendered in detailed low relief. The title THE PATRIARCH appears prominently in the upper field above the group. A continuous circular quotation legend in raised Latin script runs through the nickel brass outer ring, separated by a dotted border from the inner field. |

| Additional information |
Jersey's Churchill commemorative series has produced several varieties since the island's long affiliation with Churchill iconography — he was made an Honorary Citizen of Jersey. This particular piece entered circulation missing its face value inscription, an error that slipped through quality control at the Pobjoy Mint. Such struck errors on bimetallic issues are relatively uncommon given the additional production stages involved, where defects are typically caught during the ring-insertion step.
