2 Pounds - Elizabeth II King William I

Issued to mark the 900th anniversary of the Norman Conquest, this coin commemorates William I's 1087 death — which occurred in Rouen, not England — making Guernsey's position as a Crown dependency with Norman roots the quiet justification for the issue. The Bailiwick traces its political relationship to the Duchy of Normandy directly, predating its connection to the English Crown entirely.
