| Additional information |
Alderney's coinage authority sits under the British Crown dependency framework, but the island issues its own commemorative program independently of the Royal Mint — a quirk that makes these pieces legally valid tender on an island with a population under 2,000, though none will ever buy groceries there. The 95th birthday issue arrived in the shadow of Philip's death in April 2021, giving the year's royal commemorative calendar an uncomfortable tone that Alderney's mint partners navigated by focusing strictly on the Queen's own milestone.
Five-ounce gold issues at this specification are almost always struck to extremely low mintage ceilings — typically under 50 pieces worldwide for this issuer at this weight.
