| Additional information |
Guernsey has operated as a semi-autonomous Crown dependency with its own coinage rights since 1921, and the island's mint program has increasingly leaned on commemorative issues aimed squarely at the collector market rather than circulation. This piece marks Elizabeth II's role as Commander-in-Chief of the British Armed Forces — a constitutional position she held from her accession in 1952 until her death in September 2022, making this among the final issues produced under her name before the transition to Charles III coinage.
The gold plating over copper-nickel is a collector-market production, not a bullion piece.
