| Obverse description | At centre, the Arms of Alderney depicted as a shield bearing a crowned lion rampant guardant holding a sprig of flowers, set against a decoratively scrolled field. The date '2005' appears in the upper field above the shield, and the legend 'THE STATES OF ALDERNEY' curves along the lower portion of the coin in large incuse letters. The design is executed in high relief with a frosted cameo finish against mirrored fields, characteristic of proof coinage. |
