The 1985 Guernsey 1 Penny (KM#40), 2 Pence (KM# 41), and 10 Pence (KM# 43.1) coins were issued as FAO coins.

Interesting fact

The 1 Penny coin from Guernsey featuring Elizabeth II's 3rd portrait and made of bronze has a unique feature - it's non-magnetic. This is because bronze, the metal used to make the coin, is not magnetic. This means that the coin will not be attracted to magnets, unlike some other coins made of magnetic materials.
