Interesting fact
The 5 Pound coin "At the Going Down of the Sun" 2018 from Guernsey features a unique design that commemorates the 100th anniversary of the armistice that ended World War I. The coin's design depicts a soldier standing at attention, silhouetted against the sun setting over the horizon, surrounded by poppies, which are a symbol of remembrance and hope. The coin's design is particularly interesting because it was created by a Guernsey-based artist, and it is the first time that a non-circulating coin from Guernsey has featured a coloured design.
