| Beschrijving keerzijde | Central depiction of the Tomb of the Unknown Warrior at Westminster Abbey, showing the stone sarcophagus flanked by tall candelabras with lit candles, set before a Gothic-arched interior with a robed clergyman standing in the background. The denomination FIVE POUNDS is inscribed along the upper arc of the field. At the base of the tomb, a three-dimensional colored red poppy applied in enamel serves as the focal commemorative motif, replacing the numeral zero in the centenary dates. The commemorative inscription arches along the lower rim, flanked by the war years. |

The Royal British Legion was founded in 1921, the same year the Unknown Warrior's tomb was installed in Westminster Abbey — that burial, of an unidentified British soldier exhumed from a First World War battlefield, drew over a million mourners within the first week. Guernsey has issued commemorative five-pound pieces in volume since the 1970s, and this 2014 WWI centenary entry belongs to a crowded field of similar issues across British Crown Dependencies.
Gold-plated copper at this weight is a format that circulates primarily in the gift and collector-pack trade rather than numismatic channels proper.
