Struck to mark Prince Philip's 95th birthday, this issue appeared the same year the Duke formally stepped back from a number of his royal patronages ahead of his 2017 retirement from public duties. Guernsey has maintained a long tradition of issuing commemorative crown-sized pieces tied to royal milestones, a practice that generates meaningful revenue for the Bailiwick's treasury given the collector premium over face value.
