| Additional information |
Alderney sits five miles off the Normandy coast — closer to the D-Day beaches than any other British Crown Dependency. The Germans fortified it so heavily between 1940 and 1945 that the entire civilian population had been evacuated, making it the only British territory whose inhabitants were not present for the occupation they endured. That proximity gives this issue a geographic specificity that most D-Day commemoratives issued from London or even Jersey cannot claim.
KM#418 is one of several large-format silver pieces Alderney has produced under the 25 Pounds denomination, a face value with no practical circulation function and existing solely to anchor the legal tender framework required for collector issues.
