| Additional information |
Guernsey has issued commemorative pieces under royal license since the 1970s, and the Channel Islands' status as Crown Dependencies — not part of the UK but owing allegiance to the Crown — gives them the legal right to produce coinage bearing the monarch's effigy. Prince George was born July 22, 2013, making this a five-year retrospective issue rather than a birth-year release.
