Comment
Krauze cataloguewrongly listed this coin with year 2005. In fact isseued with date 2004.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design, showcasing a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II on one side and a depiction of the HMS Revenge on the other. The HMS Revenge was a British ship that played a significant role in the Spanish Armada, and its inclusion on the coin highlights Alderney's rich maritime history.
