Comment
This commemorative issue owes its existence to Mr. J. Wilfrid du Pre of the Societe Jersiaise. In 1949, the coins were first minted for the anniversary of the Liberation of the Island from the German Occupation on May 8, 1945. Coins were also minted in 1950 and 1952.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted to commemorate the liberation of Jersey from German occupation during World War II. The coin features an image of King George VI on one side and a depiction of the island of Jersey on the other, with the words "Liberation 1945" inscribed above the image of the island. The coin was minted from 1949 to 1952 and was used as circulating currency in Jersey during that time.
