| Beschrijving keerzijde | Bust-length portrait of King George VI facing left, depicted in suit and tie, speaking into a period BBC-style ribbon microphone mounted on a stand. To the left of the composition, a partial clock or timing gauge registers the time 21.00, referencing the King's radio broadcast to the Allied forces on the evening of D-Day, 6 June 1944. The design is rendered in high relief against a smooth field, with the numeral 21.00 inscribed to the left. |

Issued to mark the 75th anniversary of the Normandy landings, this piece references the 21:00 hour — the time on June 5th, 1944, when Eisenhower gave the final go order after a 24-hour delay forced by poor weather. That postponement, urged by meteorologist James Stagg against considerable resistance from senior commanders, is widely credited with saving the operation: the original date of June 5th would have seen paratroopers dropped into a gale.
Jersey's connection to D-Day is direct. The island had been under German occupation since 1940 and would not be liberated until May 9, 1945 — nearly a full year after the beaches were taken.
