| Additional information |
The title "Duchess of Edinburgh" was revived for Sophie Rhys-Jones in 2023, following the death of Prince Philip — a deliberate act by Charles III to keep the Edinburgh dukedom within the immediate royal family rather than allowing it to lapse to the Crown. Guernsey, as a Crown Dependency, issues its own coinage independently of the Royal Mint but requires Privy Council approval for new portrait and title introductions.
The 2026 date places this among the earliest numismatic acknowledgments of the Edinburgh title in precious metal proof format.
