| Additional information |
Alderney, the smallest of the three main Channel Islands with self-governing status, issues commemorative coinage through an arrangement with the Royal Mint but holds no currency-issuing authority for circulation — these pieces are legal tender on the island in name only, with face value far below melt or collector value from the moment of striking. This 2013 piece marks the Diamond Jubilee alongside the investiture theme, tying two distinct royal milestones into a single commemorative program that Alderney ran across multiple issues and metals simultaneously.
