| Additional information |
Alderney's commemorative program has long operated as a revenue vehicle for the Crown Dependency, issuing coins with no meaningful circulation destiny. This 2007 piece marks the diamond wedding anniversary of Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, who married at Westminster Abbey on 20 November 1947 — Philip having renounced his Greek and Danish royal titles and adopted the surname Mountbatten shortly beforehand to satisfy concerns about a foreign prince entering the British line.
