| Reverse description | A jubilant street scene commemorating the Liberation of the Channel Islands on 9 May 1945, depicting a crowd of celebrating islanders waving Union flags and cheering in the foreground, with a church steeple and a war memorial statue visible in the background. Festive bunting bearing the word LIBERATION is strung across the upper field, evoking the atmosphere of the historic day. The denomination FIVE POUNDS appears as a legend across the upper border, while BRITISH ISLES AT WAR arcs along the lower periphery. The design combines deeply recessed background elements with boldly modeled foreground figures to create a strong sense of depth and narrative. |
