| Additional information |
V.E. Day was marked on 8 May 1945 with particular significance in the Channel Islands — Jersey had been under German occupation since July 1940, making liberation not merely symbolic but the literal end of nearly five years of enforced isolation, food shortages, and civilian hardship. The island's experience of occupation was unique among British territories, and that distinction gives Jersey-issued commemoratives on this theme a historical grounding that equivalent UK issues lack.
