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 candles, holly, and mistletoe. This coin is a special edition released in 2021 to commemorate the holiday season and is made of silver (.925) with a weight of 8.0 grams.
