Interesting fact
The 1 Sovereign - Elizabeth II (75th Anniversary D-Day) 2019 coin from Alderney (Guernsey) has a unique design feature. The reverse side of the coin depicts a soldier on the beach, with the words "D-Day 75th Anniversary" inscribed above, and the dates "1944 - 2019" below. This design is particularly interesting because it was created by a local artist, Stephen Fry, who won a competition held by the Alderney Government to design the coin. This fact adds a personal touch to the coin and highlights the significance of the anniversary.
