| Beschrijving keerzijde | A detailed high-relief depiction of the historic English warship Sovereign of the Seas, the celebrated three-masted first-rate ship of the line launched in 1637, shown under full sail upon stylized waves. A smaller vessel is visible in the left foreground, adding depth and compositional dynamism to the maritime scene. The ship flies the Cross of St George ensign at the masthead. The curved legend THE HISTORY OF THE ROYAL NAVY arcs along the upper periphery, while SOVEREIGN OF THE SEAS appears along the lower periphery. The denomination FIVE POUNDS is inscribed within the field to the upper left of the central design, and anchor motifs flank the lower legend as decorative elements. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Sovereign of the Seas was the largest warship afloat when launched at Woolwich in 1637, built on Charles I's orders partly to intimidate European rivals and partly to justify the deeply unpopular Ship Money tax — a levy extended inland for the first time, the constitutional flashpoint that helped ignite the Civil War. Jersey, as a Crown dependency that remained loyal to the Stuarts throughout that conflict, has a particular historical claim to commemorating the period.
