| Additional information |
Guernsey issued this crown-sized commemorative to mark the 25th wedding anniversary of Elizabeth II and Prince Philip in 1972. The Channel Islands — as Crown Dependencies rather than part of the United Kingdom — hold the right to issue their own coinage, which gave Guernsey, Jersey, and the Isle of Man each the opportunity to produce independent commemorative pieces for the same occasion. All three did.
The 28.28g copper-nickel specification was by this point a deliberate Commonwealth standard, adopted after silver was abandoned for circulation coinage in the late 1960s.
