| Additional information |
Issued as part of a broader British and Crown Dependency commemorative push around the 90th anniversary of the Royal Flying Corps becoming the Royal Air Force, this Jersey piece honors the fighter pilots of the First World War. Jersey's proximity to the French coast gives the subject genuine regional resonance — several Channel Island families lost men to the air war over northern France.
The .925 silver specification and 28.28g weight place it firmly in the Crown-sized proof format that became the workhorse of collector-market commemoratives from the 1990s onward, struck by Pobjoy Mint under license.
