| Reverse description | The central device depicts the steamship SS Autocarrier underway at sea, rendered in fine relief with billowing smoke rising from its funnel and stylised waves filling the lower field, evoking the vessel's historic voyage returning Channel Island evacuees in 1945. To the left of the ship, a bold block-letter inscription reads OUR DEAR CHANNEL ISLANDS ARE ALSO TO BE FREED, quoting Winston Churchill's announcement of the liberation. Along the upper and right periphery, the commemorative legend 1945·1995 THE RETURN OF THE ISLANDERS·TWO POUNDS is inscribed, with the denomination TWO POUNDS appearing inverted at the base in medal alignment. A small decorative device appears at the bottom of the field below the ship. |
