Issued to mark the centenary of Queen Victoria's birth — no, that arithmetic doesn't work. Victoria was born in 1819, died in 1901, and 2019 marks the bicentenary of her birth. Alderney has issued commemorative crowns and fractional gold pieces under Crown Dependency authority since the 1990s, with pieces struck by the Royal Mint or contracted private minters depending on the series. This fractional gold sits in a category of modern commemorative bullionware rather than circulating coinage — Alderney's legal tender status is real but academic.
