Issued to mark the centenary of naval aviation in Britain, this coin sits within a broader Jersey commemorative series covering Fleet Air Arm history. The "Black Cats" were the Royal Navy's helicopter display team, flying Lynx HAS3 aircraft out of RNAS Yeovilton — a precision aerobatics team that performed at airshows across Europe before being disbanded in 2000, nearly a decade before this coin was struck.
