Alderney gained the right to issue its own coinage in 1983, making the 1993 Coronation Jubilee release part of a still-young issuing tradition. Piedfort strikes — double-thickness blanks by definition — were a format revived by the Royal Mint in the early 1980s primarily as collector vehicles, and Alderney's issues were struck under contract using that same infrastructure.
The fortieth anniversary of the Coronation in 1993 generated a clutch of competing commemoratives across Channel Island jurisdictions. Alderney's piedfort, with its substantial heft relative to the standard version, was issued in limited numbers and sold largely through subscription.
