| Additional information |
The Queen's platinum wedding anniversary in 2017 marked 70 years of marriage to Prince Philip — a duration unmatched by any previous British monarch. Guernsey, along with several other Crown Dependencies, issued commemorative 50 pence pieces for the occasion, a denomination whose legal tender status on the island is technically independent of UK coinage law.
Gold-plated cupro-nickel of this type wears at the high points within months of handling, making the plating largely cosmetic rather than protective.
