| Obverse description | At center, the crowned lion rampant of Alderney displayed on a heraldic shield, rendered in high relief with elaborate floral and foliate decorative elements surrounding the escutcheon. The date '2009' appears in the upper field above the shield. The legend 'THE STATES OF ALDERNEY' curves along the lower periphery in incuse lettering. The mirror-polished proof field provides strong contrast to the finely detailed relief of the coat of arms. |
