| Additional information |
Issued a decade after the actual Platinum Wedding anniversary it purports to commemorate, this piece marks the 2007 anniversary with a 2017 date — a mismatch that reflects Guernsey's well-established practice of issuing commemorative coinage in series across multiple years rather than at the event itself. The "Diamond Wedding Portrait" designation refers to the official photograph taken for the 2007 occasion, when Elizabeth II and Prince Philip became the first British monarchs to reach a 60-year marriage.
