Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique reverse design by John Woodward, which depicts a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II surrounded by a wreath of laurel leaves and the inscription "ELIZABETH II ALDERNEY 2005". This design is different from the standard reverse design used on most British coins, which features a depiction of the Queen's coat of arms. The use of a unique reverse design makes this coin stand out and adds to its collectibility.
