| Additional information |
Jersey's commemorative five-pound program has produced dozens of issues, but the Agincourt piece carries a specific numerical hook: 2009 marked the 594th anniversary of the battle, an awkward figure that suggests the coin was timed not to the anniversary itself but to a broader British commemorative publishing and licensing cycle around medieval military history. The battle on 25 October 1415 saw Henry V's exhausted and outnumbered force — estimates range from 6,000 to 9,000 English against perhaps 12,000 French men-at-arms — destroy the French nobility in under four hours.
Jersey has no direct historical connection to Agincourt, issuing such pieces under Crown dependency authority purely as collector product.
