| Additional information |
The Battle of Britain Memorial Flight, operated by the RAF, maintains airworthy historic aircraft as a living memorial — the Hurricane among them. Guernsey issued several denominations tied to this flight program in 2017, part of a broader commemorative series. The island has no particular operational connection to the BBMF; this is a licensing arrangement, not a territorial one.
Silver-plated copper at this weight and diameter is a collector-market format with no circulation history whatsoever.
