Comment
This is one of six coins from Alderney, part of 18-coins set from Channel Islands.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique reverse design, depicting a sailing ship and a lighthouse, which represents the rich maritime history of the Channel Islands, particularly Alderney, which has a long history of shipbuilding and maritime trade.
