Issued to mark the Golden Jubilee year, this Guernsey crown-sized piece belongs to a series commemorating British monarchs across the centuries, with the 18th-century focus falling on the Hanoverian succession — a period when the Channel Islands' feudal relationship with the Crown was administratively distinct from both England and France, owing allegiance directly to the sovereign rather than to Parliament. Guernsey retained its own royal court and customary law throughout.
KM#124a designates the silver version, struck in .925 alongside a base-metal companion issue.
