| Additional information |
Guernsey's wildlife decimal series has been a defining feature of the island's coinage since the 1980s, when the States opted to differentiate their issues from standard UK circulation coinage by featuring local fauna. The badger has appeared across multiple iterations of the 10 pence as the series was periodically updated. By 2021, nickel plated steel had long replaced the cupro-nickel used in earlier strikes — a cost-driven shift common across British Crown Dependencies following base metal price pressures in the 2000s.
