背面描述 Three 18th-century infantry soldiers depicted in high relief against a deeply recessed proof field, rendered in fine detail with tricorn hats, period military dress coats, and accoutrements. The foreground figure advances boldly to the right, levelling a musket with fixed bayonet, while two further soldiers stand behind him bearing arms at the ready. The inscription GREAT BATTLES arcs along the upper legend, with FIVE POUNDS along the lower border, and BATTLE OF CULLODEN / 1746 inscribed in the right field.

附加信息

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.
