Interesting fact

The 5 Pound coin commemorating VE Day (Victory in Europe Day) in 2010 was a special issue by the Jersey Government to mark the 65th anniversary of the end of World War II in Europe. The coin features a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II on one side and a design depicting the Union Jack flag and the words "VE Day 1945" on the other. The coin was limited to a mintage of 5,000 pieces, making it a rare and collectible item for coin enthusiasts.
