| Additional information |
Charles was born on 14 November 1948 at Buckingham Palace, the first child of Princess Elizabeth before her accession. Alderney — the northernmost of the Channel Islands and a dependency of the British Crown with its own commemorative minting program — issued this piece nearly six decades after the event it commemorates, timed to coincide with his 2007 investiture preparations and broader royal anniversary programming that year.
The dual KM reference suggests this type was issued in both standard and proof finishes under separate catalog numbers.
