| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse, designed by Lee Robert Jones, presents a highly stylised composition evoking the wartime resolve of Winston Churchill, with a dramatic coastal landscape in the background rendered in low relief, suggestive of the beaches and cliffs of wartime Britain. Barbed wire, poppies, and scattered seashells populate the foreground field as symbolic motifs of sacrifice and defiance. Dominating the centre of the field in bold raised capital lettering is the celebrated Churchillian declaration WE SHALL NEVER SURRENDER. The full quotation continues around the peripheral legend: WE SHALL DEFEND OUR ISLANDS WHATEVER THE COST MAY BE, evoking Churchill's famous speech of June 1940. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Alderney occupied a peculiar position in the Second World War — the only British territory to be entirely evacuated before German forces arrived in June 1940, its civilian population removed by British authorities just days before occupation began. The island remained under German control until May 1945, longer than most of occupied Europe.
Alderney's issues are struck under license and produced by the Royal Mint or private minting contractors, not on the island itself.
