| Obverse description | Effigy of Queen Elizabeth II in right-facing profile, the fifth definitive portrait as modelled by Ian Rank-Broadley, depicting the Queen wearing the George IV State Diadem. The legend 'ELIZABETH II BAILIWICK OF GUERNSEY' arcs around the upper field, with the date '2022' positioned in the lower field. The portrait is rendered with fine detail characteristic of the Rank-Broadley effigy series used on British Commonwealth coinage from 1998. |

| Additional information |
Guernsey's wildlife decimal series has issued numerous collector-oriented pieces through the London Mint Office rather than through normal circulation channels, meaning most examples never see a till. This coin is essentially a privately marketed product dressed in the authority of a Crown Dependency, with distribution handled commercially from the outset.
The golden eagle has been functionally extinct as a breeding species in England since the early 20th century, with Scotland holding the only sustainable UK population.
