| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse presents a detailed depiction of two steam locomotive tenders viewed from the front in a shed setting, rendered in a cross-sectional style separated by a central vertical dividing line. The left tender shows a standing fireman or worker with a shovel, while the right tender depicts a stoker shovelling coal amid a large mound of fuel. Steam or smoke issues from the dome fittings atop each tender. A locomotive number plate reading '81 A' appears in an oval cartouche at the bottom centre. The denomination 'FIVE POUNDS' is inscribed along the upper right field within the rim. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Guernsey's "On shed" issue commemorates the centenary of the Great Western Railway's locomotive preservation tradition, a subject that placed a British Crown dependency squarely in the business of celebrating mainland railway heritage. The GWR connection to the Channel Islands was indirect at best — inter-island rail networks never existed — making this more a collector-market piece than any expression of local history.
