Guernsey's choice to commemorate VE Day carries more weight than most issuing authorities can claim. The island was occupied by German forces from June 1940 until May 9, 1945 — a full day after the official VE Day on May 8 — making it one of the last British territories liberated. That single day's difference is still marked locally.
The six KM references indicate a multi-coin series rather than a single release, likely issued across different reverse designs. Gold-plated steel in this diameter is the standard modern commemorative format for the Royal Mint supply chain that services Crown Dependencies.
