| Additional information |
Guernsey's decimal coinage has always operated independently of the Royal Mint, struck under contract by various private mints rather than through British government channels. The fallow deer on this denomination ties to the island's long association with managed deer populations — Guernsey's feudal land tenure system, which persisted in modified form well into the twentieth century, included rights over game that shaped which animals became symbolic of the bailiwick's identity.
