1 Sovereign - Charles III Winston Churchill

Churchill's connection to Alderney is largely incidental — the island's real Churchill association runs through the wartime evacuation of 1940, when virtually the entire civilian population was ordered to leave before German occupation, a decision made under the government Churchill had just taken over. Alderney was the only British territory to suffer that fate in its entirety, and it endured some of the worst forced labor conditions in the Channel Islands.

The sovereign specification here — 22ct, 8g — follows the standard set by the Royal Mint since the recoinage of 1817.
