5 Pounds - Elizabeth II 60th Wedding Anniversary, Honeymoon departure

Alderney, a Crown dependency with its own issuing authority but no meaningful circulation economy, has produced commemorative five-pound pieces tied to British royal events since the 1990s. This piece marks the 2007 diamond wedding anniversary of Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, with the honeymoon departure framing one of a multi-coin series dividing the anniversary into narrative episodes. The couple left for their honeymoon aboard the royal train from Waterloo Station in November 1947, famously with the Princess still wearing her going-away outfit due to the press of the crowd.
