| Obverse description | Left-facing uncrowned effigy of King Charles III, rendered in high relief with fine portrait detail by engraver Glyn Davies. The king is depicted in a mature, naturalistic style without crown or insignia. The circular legend reads CHARLES III · BAILIWICK OF JERSEY around the upper field, with the date 2024 positioned in the lower exergue below the portrait. Two raised dots flank the date, and the initials GD appear discreetly below the bust truncation. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a powerful dual-image composition depicting a D-Day veteran on the sands of Normandy in both 1944 and 2024, separated by a central Royal British Legion poppy motif symbolising remembrance. On the left, the young soldier is shown in full World War II combat uniform amid the chaos of the June 1944 landings, with period landing craft visible in the background. On the right, the same veteran, now aged 80 years, is shown returning to the tranquil, peacetime beach in a poignant tribute to survival and sacrifice. The denomination £5 and the commemorative dates 1944–2024 appear in the legend, accompanied by the inscription WE WILL REMEMBER THEM. |
