Comment
Part of 10 coin set of colour and plain silverInteresting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design that showcases the Christmas traditions of Guernsey, a British crown dependency in the English Channel. The coin's obverse side features a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, while the reverse side depicts a festive scene of a family gathered around a Christmas tree, surrounded by traditional Guernsey Christmas decorations such as holly, mistletoe, and ivy. The coin's silver composition and 8.0 gram weight also make it a valuable and collectible item for coin enthusiasts.
