| Additional information |
The Diamond Wedding commemorative was issued in 2007 marking sixty years since the November 1947 marriage of Princess Elizabeth and Prince Philip at Westminster Abbey — a ceremony deliberately kept modest by the post-war austerity government, which initially denied the event extra clothing ration coupons before public outcry forced a reversal. Guernsey, as a Crown Dependency, issues its own coinage independently of the Royal Mint but remains outside the United Kingdom proper.
KM#208a designates the silver variant; a base-metal version was struck concurrently for general circulation.
