Issued to mark the wedding of Prince Charles and Camilla Parker Bowles in April 2005, a ceremony that had already been postponed by one day to allow Charles to attend Pope John Paul II's funeral in Rome. Prince Harry's inclusion as a named subject on this Alderney issue reflects his role as a witness at the Windsor Guildhall civil ceremony. Alderney, as a Crown dependency outside the UK but under Guernsey's jurisdiction, holds the unusual privilege of issuing its own legal tender coinage through the Royal Mint.
