| Additional information |
Issued to mark the death of Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother in March 2002 at the age of 101, this was one of dozens of commemorative Crown-sized pieces released across British Crown Dependencies and Commonwealth territories that year. Guernsey's connection to the Queen Mother carries specific weight — the island was occupied by German forces from 1940 to 1945, a period during which her refusal to leave London became a defining moment of wartime morale for occupied territories unable to broadcast their situation openly.
