4 Doubles

Aversbeschreibung	The arms of Guernsey occupy the central field: a vertically-lined shield bearing three passant lions arranged in pale, with a sprig of laurel or foliage issuing from above the shield as a crest. The design is enclosed by a continuous border of raised beads. The Latin legend GUERNESEY curves along the lower portion of the field beneath the shield.

Zusätzliche Informationen	Guernsey's doubles denomination was entirely local — the island maintained its own copper coinage independent of British sterling, a practical consequence of the Norman customary law and insular fiscal autonomy that Westminster largely left undisturbed. The 4 doubles sits at the heart of that system, with eight doubles equaling one penny local value. Issues across this date range were struck in Birmingham, almost certainly by commercial contract minters serving the smaller British dependencies that lacked their own mint infrastructure. The KM#2a variety reflects a documented composition adjustment within the series run.
