| Additional information |
Part of Guernsey's ongoing wildlife decimal series, this issue replaces the long-running portrait-and-arms coinage with native fauna subjects — a shift that began accelerating across Crown Dependencies in the 2010s as circulation volumes declined and commemorative-format coins became the practical output of local mints. The water shrew (Neomys fodiens) is genuinely present in the Channel Islands, though its population there sits at the edge of its range.
