5 Pounds - Elizabeth II Battle of Culloden 1746

The Battle of Culloden on 16 April 1746 ended Jacobite ambitions for good in roughly forty minutes of fighting on Drummossie Moor. Cumberland's artillery broke the Highland charge before it could close, and the subsequent reprisals — burning of homes, proscription of the tartan, abolition of heritable jurisdictions — were systematic enough that historians debate whether "pacification" is too mild a word.

Jersey's connection to the Stuart cause was marginal at best, which makes this a commemorative of geography rather than local history. The island remained firmly under Crown authority throughout the period.
