Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique double-effigy design, with both Queen Elizabeth II and King James I depicted on the obverse side. This is a nod to the historical connection between the Channel Islands and the British monarchy, as King James I was the former King of England, Scotland, and Ireland, and Alderney is a small island in the English Channel. The coin's unique design and limited mintage make it a sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
