1 Pound - Elizabeth II The 50th Anniversary of the Moon Landing

Alderney has issued commemorative coinage under Crown Dependency authority since 1993, contracting production through the Royal Mint and later private minters. This piece marks the fiftieth anniversary of Apollo 11's July 1969 lunar landing — a date that generated an unusually dense cluster of commemorative issues worldwide, making differentiation between issuers a matter of minting contract rather than any particular historical connection to the event.
