Beschrijving voorzijde Right-facing uncrowned effigy of Queen Elizabeth II adorned with the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland Tiara, rendered in high relief against a smooth field. The portrait is attributed to engraver Mike Guilfoyle and presents the Queen in a mature likeness consistent with commemorative issues of the period. The sovereign's name and issuing authority appear in a circumferential legend, with the date positioned at the base of the design.

Beschrijving keerzijde A lone soldier stands in profile to the left in the foreground, rendered in crisp relief, evoking the service and sacrifice of the armed forces. Behind him, a detailed silhouette depicts members of the Royal Family and Prime Minister Winston Churchill assembled on the balcony of Buckingham Palace in the celebrated Victory in Europe Day scene of 8 May 1945. Churchill's famous speech quotation arcs across the upper field, serving as both legend and historical caption. The face value appears in the lower field beneath the balcony scene, completing the design.

Aanvullende informatie

V.E. Day itself fell on 8 May 1945, and Guernsey's liberation from German occupation came the same day — making the anniversary genuinely personal for the island in a way it isn't for most issuing authorities. The bailiwicks of Guernsey and Jersey were the only British territories occupied by Nazi Germany during the war, a fact that lends these commemorative issues a local weight that purely metropolitan British pieces lack.
