| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse features William Dyce's celebrated quartered royal arms design, adapted from the reverse of William Wyon's 1847 Victoria Gothic Crown. The shield is divided into four quarters displaying the arms of England (three passant guardant lions), Scotland (a lion rampant), Ireland (a harp), and the Tudor rose, with the Star of the Order of the Garter at the centre. The entire composition is enclosed within a Gothic-arched framework, surmounted by the Royal Crown, with the Garter motto HONI SOIT QUI MAL Y PENSE inscribed on a belt surrounding the central escutcheon. The circumferential legend TUEATUR UNITA DEUS and the regnal date ANNO DOM MDCCCXLVII (1847) appear in Gothic blackletter script around the border, separated by a beaded inner circle. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Alderney, the smallest of the three bailiwicks issuing commemorative coinage under the Crown Dependencies framework, has no historical mint of its own — all pieces struck in its name are produced by the Royal Mint in Llantrisant. This 2021 issue draws on the Victorian Gothic Crown of 1847, one of the most technically demanding British coin designs ever produced, originally engraved by William Wyon after a design by William Dyce and never intended for general circulation.
The Gothic Crown saw only proof and specimen strikes in its own era, a tradition this issue consciously continues.
