| 背面描述 | A central cross motif is set within a field densely populated with stylised red poppies, evoking the battlefields of the First World War and the tradition of remembrance. The Stone of Remembrance is depicted prominently as the focal design element. An inscription arching across the upper left and lower portion of the field carries the commemorative legend, referencing the enduring memory of the fallen. The overall composition is characteristic of the WWI centenary commemorative series issued by Guernsey. |

Guernsey occupied a peculiar position during the First World War — the island sent a disproportionately high number of volunteers relative to its population, yet as a Crown dependency it operated outside the formal British military conscription framework introduced in 1916. The Stone of Remembrance design connects to Edwin Lutyens, who specified that his monumental stones be placed so the top surface is precisely horizontal, requiring each one to be individually surveyed regardless of the terrain beneath it.
Gold-plated copper commemoratives of this type were produced in large numbers for the centenary programme and saw little genuine numismatic demand beyond initial retail.
