| Beschrijving keerzijde | A cluster of red poppies on slender stems occupies the left portion of the design, rendered in vivid color against the coin's field. The face value £5 appears prominently in the centre. To the right, a multi-line inscription presents the opening verses of John McCrae's poem 'In Flanders Fields,' serving as a tribute to fallen soldiers commemorated on Remembrance Day. The overall composition evokes the solemnity of wartime remembrance within a circular beaded border. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Alderney's legal authority to issue commemorative coinage derives from a 1987 Order in Council, a quirk of Crown dependency status that has made the island a prolific — critics would say opportunistic — source of collector-market strikes. This piece is silver-plated copper, not solid silver, a distinction that matters considerably to anyone treating it as a bullion purchase rather than a shelf item.
