| Aanvullende informatie |
Alderney issued this coin to mark the total solar eclipse of 11 August 1999, whose path of totality crossed the English Channel and passed directly over the Channel Islands — making it one of the few occasions where a British Crown Dependency sat within the zone of complete darkness. The eclipse lasted approximately two minutes over Alderney itself, drawing significant numbers of observers to the island specifically for the event.
