Issued on the centenary of Churchill's birth? No — 2006 marks the 40th anniversary of his death in January 1965. Jersey's relationship with Churchill carries particular weight: the island endured five years of German occupation from 1940 to 1945, and Churchill's wartime leadership was a direct subject of daily life there in ways mainland Britain never experienced. The occupying forces confiscated radios precisely to prevent islanders from hearing BBC broadcasts about Allied progress.
