Comment
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
One interesting fact about the 2 Pence - Elizabeth II (3rd portrait; non-magnetic) FAO 1985-1990 from Guernsey is that it was made of bronze, which is an alloy of copper and tin, instead of the more common metals used in coin production such as copper, nickel, or zinc. This choice of material was likely chosen for its durability and resistance to corrosion, ensuring that the coin would withstand the rigors of circulation and remain in good condition for a long time.
