10 Pence - Elizabeth II Common Buzzard, Colourised

Guernsey has issued colourised circulation-format pieces under royal warrant for decades, but these sit in an awkward commercial category — priced above face value at point of sale, struck to collector tolerances, yet technically legal tender on the island. The Common Buzzard was reintroduced to the Bailiwick after a long absence, making it a locally defensible subject rather than a random wildlife pick.
