Beschrijving keerzijde A fully equipped British airborne soldier in combat dress and helmet, armed with a rifle, advances in a crouching posture toward Pegasus Bridge (Bénouville Bridge, Normandy), depicted in detailed relief in the middle ground. The scene commemorates the capture of the bridge by the 6th Airborne Division in the early hours of D-Day, 6 June 1944. The time inscription 00.35, denoting the precise moment of the assault, appears in the upper portion of the field within a decorative border of stylised Allied insignia.

Aanvullende informatie

Jersey issued this piece to mark the 75th anniversary of the D-Day landings, which placed the island in an unusual commemorative position — Jersey itself was under German occupation on 6 June 1944 and remained so until 9 May 1945. The specific time reference, 00:35, points to the opening airborne assault: the moment British gliders of the Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire Light Infantry touched down near Pegasus Bridge, minutes ahead of the main seaborne landings.
