Additional information

Alderney's commemorative program has long functioned as a revenue vehicle for the Royal Mint's parent licensing arrangements, producing collector pieces with no genuine circulation role. This 2018 issue marks the 65th anniversary of the June 1953 coronation — a ceremony that drew an estimated 27 million television viewers in the UK alone, the first coronation broadcast live on BBC Television.

Silver-plated copper-nickel is the base tier of what was almost certainly a multi-metal release, with sterling and gold versions issued alongside.
