5 Pounds - Elizabeth II 90 Years of The Royal British Legion - Selflessness

The Royal British Legion was founded in 1921, amalgamating four separate ex-servicemen's organizations in the aftermath of the First World War. By 2011, its ninetieth anniversary, the Legion had grown into Britain's largest armed forces charity, with the annual Poppy Appeal alone raising tens of millions of pounds. Jersey, as a Crown dependency with its own distinct commemorative coin program, issued this series under license — a common arrangement that allows small jurisdictions to produce themed Crown-sized pieces for the collector market without any serious expectation of circulation.
