Comment
This is the re-issue of the series issued by all Channel Isles in 2003-2005 but in 2009 all coins were issued with new portrait of the Queen designed by Ian Rank-Broadley.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design on its reverse side, showcasing the Mary Rose, a famous ship that sank in 1545 and was recovered from the seabed in 1982. The coin's design captures the ship's historic significance and adds to its collectible value.
