Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique reverse design depicting a Spitfire plane soaring above the English Channel, symbolizing the bravery and sacrifice of the pilots who fought in the Battle of Britain. The design is accompanied by the inscription "80th Anniversary of the Battle of Britain" and the dates "1940-2020." This coin serves as a commemoration of the significant role that Jersey played in the Battle of Britain, as the island was a vital location for the Allies' military operations during World War II.
