| Beschrijving keerzijde | Dynamic battle scene commemorating the D-Day landings of 6 June 1944, depicting three Allied soldiers in combat gear and steel helmets advancing under fire across a beach. The foreground figure, rendered in high relief, lunges forward while shielding his face and carrying a rifle with fixed bayonet; two further soldiers advance behind him, weapons raised. Rocky cliff faces are visible in the background, evoking the Normandy coastal terrain. The time inscription 17:00 appears in the lower portion of the field within a curved banner, referencing the specific hour commemorated in this issue. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Jersey issued this piece as part of its extensive D-Day 75th anniversary program in 2019, one of several time-specific releases keyed to the actual hour-by-hour schedule of the June 6, 1944 landings. The 17:00 designation refers to the late-afternoon phase of operations, by which point Allied forces had secured enough of the Normandy beachhead to begin moving inland — though at catastrophic cost, particularly at Omaha.
Jersey's own wartime history gives these issues a specific gravity absent from most commemoratives. The island was occupied by German forces from July 1940 until liberation in May 1945 — the only British territory to remain under Nazi occupation for the duration.
