| Additional information |
Alderney has operated as a convenient vehicle for commemorative issues since the 1990s, with the Guernsey-administered island lending its name to coins that circulate nowhere and are produced almost exclusively for the collector market. This piece marks the bicentennial of Victoria's birth in 1819.
The silver-plated copper format places it firmly outside bullion territory.
