| Additional information |
Issued to mark the 75th anniversary of the D-Day landings, this piece carries particular weight for Jersey specifically — the island had been under German occupation since July 1940 and remained so until May 9, 1945, nearly a full year after the Normandy operation it commemorates. The liberation came not through fighting but through Germany's broader surrender, meaning Jersey's population endured the occupation longer than almost any other British-associated territory.
The "02:00" designation references the airborne drop timing in the early hours of June 6, anchoring the coin within a specific commemorative series segmented by operational timeline.
