5 Pounds - Elizabeth II Edward II

Alderney, a Crown dependency outside the United Kingdom proper, issues commemorative coinage under royal warrant but outside the British Royal Mint's direct remit — giving it unusual latitude to produce themed pieces that wouldn't appear in standard UK series. Edward II's reign ended at Berkeley Castle in 1327 under circumstances that remain genuinely disputed: whether murdered on orders from his queen Isabella and her lover Mortimer, or whether he escaped and died later in Italy, historians have never fully settled.
