| Additional information |
Alderney holds a peculiar constitutional position — a dependency of the Bailiwick of Guernsey, itself a Crown dependency, giving it the authority to issue its own commemorative coinage while remaining entirely outside the United Kingdom proper. The Platinum Jubilee marked 70 years on the throne, a duration no British monarch had previously reached. Alderney has leaned heavily on royal commemoratives since the 1990s, with the Royal Mint having no involvement in their production — striking is typically contracted to private mints operating under license.
