| Additional information |
Alderney's gold issues from this period were produced by the Pobjoy Mint under license, functioning primarily as collector pieces with no meaningful circulation history. Newton's connection to coinage is legitimate — he served as Warden and later Master of the Royal Mint from 1696 until his death in 1727, overseeing the Great Recoinage and prosecuting counterfeiters with unusual personal vigor.
