| Beschrijving voorzijde | Fourth definitive effigy of Queen Elizabeth II by Ian Rank-Broadley, depicted as a right-facing draped bust adorned with the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland Tiara. The legend arcs around the upper periphery reading ELIZABETH II BAILIWICK OF GUERNSEY, with the date 2010 and the engraver's initials IRB positioned below the portrait. The design is rendered in the standard Rank-Broadley style adopted across Commonwealth coinage from 1998 onward. |

Guernsey's choice to issue a Battle of Britain commemorative carries an irony worth noting: the island was occupied by German forces from June 1940 through May 1945, making it the only British territory to endure the full duration of Nazi occupation. The RAF fought overhead while Guernsey itself was under the boot. A Guernsey-issued tribute to that victory is historically loaded in ways the coin's commissioners almost certainly intended.
The Supermarine Spitfire entered service in 1938, and by the summer of 1940 roughly 370 were operational — outnumbered throughout the campaign by the Hawker Hurricane, which actually downed more German aircraft during the Battle of Britain.
