| Additional information |
Guernsey has issued commemorative pieces for British royal milestones since the 1970s, functioning largely as a revenue mechanism for the island's treasury rather than as circulating coinage. This 2018 issue marks Prince George's fifth birthday — a date of no particular constitutional or historical significance, which explains everything about why it exists in gold-plated copper rather than anything more committed.
