50 Pence - Elizabeth II WWI - Rifles & Bayonets

Jersey's extended WWI centenary commemorative program ran from 2014 through 2018, releasing individual 50p pieces tied to specific episodes and years of the conflict. This piece marks the infantry combat experience of 1915, when the Western Front had solidified into the trench system that would define the war's character for three more years. The Royal Jersey contingent served primarily attached to British Army formations, sustaining casualties at Gallipoli and Loos that same year.
