| Beschrijving keerzijde | A finely detailed depiction of the Gold State Coach occupies the central field, shown in three-quarter view with elaborately decorated bodywork, ornate gilded panels, and spoked wheels, flanked by footmen and positions. The engraver's initials JS appear to the lower right of the coach. The legend CORONATION ANNIVERSARY arcs across the upper field within a beaded border, while the denomination £25 is inscribed centrally below the coach and the issuer name ALDERNEY appears along the lower arc, separated by raised pellets. The composition commemorates the 40th anniversary of the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Alderney, the smallest of the inhabited Channel Islands with a population under 2,500, gained the right to issue its own coinage in 1987 — a largely ceremonial privilege that has produced a stream of commemorative gold pieces tied to British royal events. This 1993 issue marks the 40th anniversary of the coronation of Elizabeth II. The State Coach depicted has been used for every coronation since George IV commissioned it in 1762 from craftsman Samuel Butler, at a cost exceeding £7,500 — a sum that drew considerable parliamentary criticism at the time.
