Alderney's crown-sized issues are produced under a licensing arrangement with the Royal Mint and carry legal tender status on the island, though none circulate. This 2015 piece commemorates the 60th anniversary of Churchill's death, drawing on his wartime broadcast reputation — the BBC transmitted his speeches to occupied Europe with the explicit intention of sustaining resistance morale, a use of radio that neither Churchill nor the BBC fully anticipated when the relationship began.

Alderney itself was the only permanently inhabited British territory occupied by German forces during the war, lending the island an uncommon historical proximity to the subject.
