| Additional information |
The Royal British Legion was founded in 1921, amalgamating four separate ex-servicemen's organizations formed in the immediate aftermath of the First World War. Its poppy appeal, launched that same founding year, has since raised over £1 billion cumulatively. This Jersey issue marks the Legion's 90th anniversary — a commemorative program that generated numerous collector pieces across multiple territories under the Crown.
Gold-plated copper crowns of this specification were produced in volume for the commemorative market throughout the 2000s and 2010s, with Jersey acting as a prolific issuing authority for pieces with minimal circulation intent.
