| Additional information |
Issued to mark the 70th anniversary of the German occupation of Jersey, which began in July 1940 and lasted until liberation on 9 May 1945 — the only British territory to fall under Nazi control during the war. The occupation was administered under German military governance, and Jersey's own authorities were compelled to issue occupation currency, making the island's wartime monetary history unusually complicated for a British dependency.
Erick Lock was a Jersey-born RAF fighter ace credited with at least 26 aerial victories before being shot down over France in 1941.
