| Reversbeschreibung | Gilt reverse depicting a bold, stylised bust of Field Marshal Lord Kitchener facing three-quarters left, wearing his military peaked cap adorned with crossed field marshal's batons. He bears his distinctive heavy moustache and is shown with one gloved hand extended and pointing outward toward the viewer, evoking his iconic recruitment poster imagery. The legend MAKE ME A SOLDIER, LORD is arranged in large display lettering across the left field, with decorative laurel branch elements flanking the portrait. |

Jersey issued this piece as part of a broader centenary commemoration series marking the outbreak of the First World War. Kitchener's role in 1914 was pivotal in a specific, practical sense: the regular British Army was catastrophically undersized for continental warfare, and his immediate call for 100,000 volunteers — eventually expanding into the "New Armies" — transformed Britain's military capacity almost from scratch. He remains one of the few figures who grasped early that the war would last years, not months, when nearly everyone else predicted a swift conclusion.
He died in June 1916 when HMS Hampshire struck a German mine off Orkney.
