Alderney Coins
| Explore our range of Alderney coins, issued for the Channel Island of Alderney and struck by The Royal Mint on behalf of the island’s government. These highly collectable coins are known for their limited mintages, exceptional design quality, and strong demand among UK and international collectors. Although Alderney is part of the Bailiwick of Guernsey, its coinage is independently issued as commemorative legal tender for the island only, and is not intended for general circulation. Since 1989, Alderney has produced a wide variety of collector coins, typically denominated as £1, £2, £5, and larger crown-sized issues, struck in cupro-nickel, silver proof, and gold proof editions. This category includes a broad selection of modern commemorative themes, often produced in collaboration with The Royal Mint, featuring highly detailed designs and low global mintages. Popular releases include:
Many Alderney coins are issued as silver proof or brilliant uncirculated collector editions, with premium presentation packaging and certificates of authenticity. Certain issues are also certified and graded by PCGS and NGC, increasing their desirability among serious numismatists. Alderney coins are especially popular due to their Royal Mint association, artistic variety, and limited production runs, making them highly collectable across modern British commemorative coin markets. Whether you collect Royal Mint special issues, Channel Islands coinage, or themed modern commemoratives, Alderney coins offer a diverse and highly collectable range within contemporary numismatics. |
