Alderney, the smallest of the inhabited Channel Islands with a population under 2,000, issues coins as a Crown Dependency with legal tender status on the island — a technicality that fuels collector demand while ensuring virtually none ever see a cash register. This 2015 issue was part of a Royal Mint-produced series commemorating aspects of Elizabeth II's life and reign, with "The Artist" referring to her lifelong practice of watercolor painting, a private pursuit she pursued seriously enough to exhibit works under controlled conditions at Sandringham.
