| Beschrijving keerzijde | Quartered royal arms shield at centre, based on William Dyce's celebrated design for the 1847 Victoria Gothic Crown reverse, featuring the heraldic quarters of England, Scotland, and Ireland arranged within a cruciform composition. Four ornate Gothic cusps frame the central shield, with the Garter motto 'HONI SOIT QUI MAL Y PENSE' inscribed on a circlet surrounding the shield. The outer legend reads 'TUEATUR UNITA DEUS' and the date in Roman numerals 'ANNO DOM MDCCCXLVII' appears in the exergue area, referencing the original 1847 crown design. The entire composition is executed in an elaborate Gothic Revival style with fine engraved detail throughout the field. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Alderney, the smallest of the three principal Channel Islands, occupies a curious constitutional position — a Crown dependency whose coinage rights sit outside both the UK and Bailiwick of Guernsey frameworks, allowing it to issue collector pieces that technically circulate but functionally never do. The Gothic Crown portrait used here derives from William Wyon's celebrated 1847 design for Queen Victoria, revived as a deliberate anachronism.
The quarter sovereign denomination itself was last struck for general circulation in 1915, making every modern incarnation of it a purely numismatic proposition from the outset.
