| Additional information |
Alderney's coinage issues are largely commemorative vehicles produced under licensing arrangements, with Royal Mint involvement varying by issue. The Platinum Jubilee series marked 70 years of Elizabeth II's reign — the longest in British history — and this fractional sovereign denomination follows the traditional 22-carat gold standard that has defined British sovereign coinage since the Great Recoinage of 1816.
