Additional information

Alderney's commemorative program has long been administered through the British Royal Mint under licence from the States of Alderney, which holds the right to issue its own coinage despite the island's unusual constitutional status — neither a Crown dependency in its own right nor part of Guernsey in any straightforward administrative sense. This piece commemorates Britain's branch line railway heritage, issued during a period when such themed crowns were produced in volume for the collector market rather than circulation.
