Issued to commemorate the centenary of the end of the First World War, this striking British Isles Three Coin Set was produced in association with the Royal British Legion and honours the service, sacrifice, and remembrance of those affected by the Great War.

The collection features three commemorative crown-sized coins issued by Jersey, Guernsey, and the Isle of Man, each depicting powerful First World War centenary-themed designs enhanced with vibrant red poppy detailing. The poppy has become the enduring symbol of remembrance throughout the United Kingdom and Commonwealth, making these coins a fitting tribute to those who gave their lives in service to their country.

Presented in a deluxe display case with certificate of authenticity, the set marks the centenary of the Armistice of 11 November 1918 and serves as a lasting memorial to the millions affected by the conflict. The combination of commemorative designs and coloured poppy elements creates a visually impressive display with strong historical significance.

This limited-edition collection is an excellent addition to collections of military memorabilia, commemorative coinage, Royal British Legion issues, and First World War centenary collectibles.

Historical Background

The year 2018 marked one hundred years since the end of the First World War. Throughout the United Kingdom, Crown Dependencies, and Commonwealth nations, numerous commemorative events and issues were released to remember those who served and those who made the ultimate sacrifice during the conflict.

The Royal British Legion has long been associated with remembrance and support for the Armed Forces community. The poppy remains one of the most recognisable symbols of remembrance, inspired by the poppies that grew across former battlefields following the war.

This collection brings together commemorative issues from Jersey, Guernsey, and the Isle of Man, reflecting the shared contribution made by communities throughout the British Isles during the Great War and ensuring that their legacy continues to be remembered for future generations.
