Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the liberation of the Channel Islands from German occupation during World War II. The coin's design, "Islander's Return," depicts a group of islanders returning home after the war, and the silver piedfort version of the coin was minted in a limited edition of only 20,000 pieces, making it a highly sought-after collector's item.
