10 Pounds - Elizabeth II VE Day

VE Day commemoratives flooded the market in 2015 for the 70th anniversary, with nearly every British Crown dependency issuing its own silver piece. Guernsey's contribution sits in a crowded field. At 155.53 grams of sterling silver, the coin belongs to the five-ounce format that became the default for high-value commemorative issues after the Royal Mint popularized it around 2012 — a format driven more by bullion optics than numismatic tradition.
