| 裏面の説明 | The reverse depicts a dynamic scene commemorating the D-Day assault on the Merville Battery on 6 June 1944. In the foreground, a British airborne soldier is shown preparing to throw a hand grenade, while a second soldier operates a machine gun in the background, evoking the intense close-quarters combat of the engagement. The inscription D-DAY 80 arcs along the upper field, while MERVILLE BATTERY appears in the lower field, with the denomination 50p integrated into the legend. The design captures the heroism of the 9th Parachute Battalion in a bold, illustrative engraving style. |

The Merville Battery, captured by the 9th Parachute Battalion in the early hours of 6 June 1944, was one of the most audacious operations of the entire Normandy campaign. The battalion lost over half its strength taking the position, and the men who assaulted it had no way of knowing the guns inside were 75mm field pieces rather than the heavy coastal artillery that had made the battery such a priority target.
Jersey's D-Day commemorative program for the 80th anniversary spans multiple 50 pence pieces, each tied to a specific action. The Merville Battery sits in British airborne history rather than Jersey's direct occupation story — the island itself remained under German control until May 1945.
