Guernsey 1979 Coin Designs

The reverse designs of these Guernsey-issue coins symbolise the British Crown Dependency in a number of ways. The Fifty Pence, for instance, shows the Ducal Cap of the Duke of Normandy, which speaks to Guernsey's historic ties to the Normandy Duchy. Keen birders will also know that the Bailiwick is famous for being the breeding home of the majestic gannet, featured on the 1p. On the obverse sits the Seal of Guernsey; this 1979 mintage pre-dates the striking of Elizabeth II's portrait on Guernsey's coinage.

Royal Mint Bailiwick Proof Set

The Royal Mint struck and issued this set for the Bailiwick of Guernsey. Each coin is struck multiple times upon polished dies to achieve a sought-after proof finish. The coins are composed of a base metal alloy and were struck as legal tender in Guernsey.
