Alderney issues commemoratives under Guernsey's authority but holds its own distinct legal tender status — a quirk that makes these pieces technically spendable on an island with a permanent population under 2,000. This coin marks the RNLI's 200th anniversary, the institution founded in 1824 by Sir William Hillary after he witnessed repeated shipwrecks off the Isle of Man coast. Roy Barker I was an Aldeburgh lifeboat lost in the North Sea in 1953 with six of her crew.
