Additional information

Churchill's connection to Jersey is more than ceremonial. The island endured five years of German occupation from 1940, and Churchill's wartime government made the controversial decision not to attempt its liberation until the broader Allied strategy permitted it in May 1945 — a delay that left islanders under Nazi rule longer than almost any other British territory. Commemorative issues from Jersey invoking Churchill carry a specific local weight that purely metropolitan British coins do not.
