| Additional information |
Guernsey introduced its pound coin in 1981, two years ahead of the UK's own pound coin launch in 1983 — a quiet demonstration of the island's autonomous monetary administration under the Crown. The States of Guernsey issues its own currency distinct from Jersey and the other Crown Dependencies, though all circulate at parity with sterling.
KM#39 was struck at the Royal Mint on contract, a arrangement common to smaller jurisdictions lacking their own minting infrastructure.
