| Reverse description | A stylised artistic composition commemorating 100 years of Remembrance, dominated by an abstract rendering of two large golden poppy heads rendered in selective gold-coloured enamel or gilding, their overlapping petals filling the upper field. The numerals '100' are prominently displayed in the centre, with the word YEARS below. A circular element suggestive of a poppy seed head occupies the right portion of the design. The curved legend WE WILL REMEMBER THEM · £5 arcs around the lower periphery of the coin. |

| Additional information |
Jersey's wartime commemoration coins occupy a peculiar niche — the island was the only British Crown Dependency occupied by German forces during World War II, from June 1940 until liberation in May 1945. That occupation gives Jersey's poppy issues a weight of local specificity that equivalent mainland British commemoratives simply cannot claim. Islanders lived under rationing, forced labor directives, and the deportation of Jewish residents to continental camps.
The KM#418a silver proof variant was struck by the Pobjoy Mint under contract — the long-standing arrangement Jersey has used for collector issues for decades.
