Guernsey has issued commemorative gold and silver pieces under its own authority since the 1970s, operating independently of the Royal Mint while still recognizing the British monarch as head of state. This 155.53g bimetallic piece is among the larger format commemoratives produced for the coronation of Charles III on 6 May 2023 — an event that had been anticipated for over seventy years given Elizabeth II's record reign of seventy years and 214 days.
