Issued to mark the 800th anniversary of Magna Carta's sealing at Runnymede in June 1215, this is one of dozens of commemorative pieces produced across British Crown Dependencies and Commonwealth nations for the occasion. Guernsey's legal relationship with the English crown predates Magna Carta itself — the island had been under Plantagenet control since 1106 — making the issuing authority at least historically coherent, if commercially motivated.
