Interesting fact
The 5 Pound coin commemorating the Battle of Hastings features a unique design element: a stylized representation of the Bayeux Tapestry, which depicts the events leading up to the Norman Conquest of England in 1066. The tapestry is an important historical artifact and is considered one of the most famous and well-preserved examples of medieval art. By incorporating this design element, the coin pays homage to the rich history and cultural heritage of both Guernsey and the United Kingdom.
