The Bailiwick of Guernsey
Guernsey is the second largest of the Channel Islands. It is the only part of the Duchy of Normandy which belongs to the British Crown, having been a British possession since the Norman conquest in 1066.
The Channel Islands, for those who do not know are in the English Channel (La Manche), and are much closer to France than to England.
Guernsey was occupied by German troops from 30th June 1940, to 9th May 1945. Guernsey has an area of 30 square miles and a population of 61,000.
The French spelling of Guernsey is Guernesey, and it is spelt this way on most older coins.

Bailiwick?
We are bound to get asked "What is a bailiwick?". A bailiwick is the district within which a bailiff has jurisdiction. It comes from the words baillie meaning bailiff, and wic meaning village.

Guernsey's First Coins
Guernsey started issuing its own coins in 1830, so it has quite a numismatic history.
We usually have in stock at least a few Guernsey coins. The mintage figures tend to be quite low.
