Alderney Coin List
Alderney' s monetary history is fascinating and unique. As part of the Channel Islands, Alderney has had a close monetary relationship with the United Kingdom, but has also maintained certain peculiarities of its own.
Currency and Circulation
Historically, Alderney has used the pound sterling as its official currency. However, unlike other parts of the United Kingdom, Alderney has issued its own commemorative and collector coins since 1989. These coins, although legal tender in Alderney, are mainly collector's items and are rarely used in everyday transactions. The island also accepts bills and coins issued by the Bank of England, as well as Guernsey pounds.
Numismatic Milestones
A significant milestone in Alderney's numismatics was the issue of its first commemorative coin in 1989, celebrating the 50th anniversary of the evacuation of the island during World War II. Since then, Alderney has produced numerous commemorative coins, including series dedicated to local wildlife, historical events and the British royal family. In 2004, Alderney issued a one-pound gold coin, making it the smallest denomination of pure gold in circulation in the world at the time.
