Coin issued in set of three coins:Interesting fact
The 2011 Guernsey £5 Silver Proof coin commemorating the Royal Navy is a unique piece, as it features a special reverse design that was created by a Guernsey-based artist, Ian Rank-Broadley. His design depicts a sailor standing on the deck of a ship, looking out towards the horizon with a sense of determination and pride. The coin's obverse features the standard portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, making it a truly special and collectible piece for anyone interested in naval history or numismatics.
