KM-19    Ten Shillings       copper-nickel       Elizabeth II & William I
1966
1966     proof
[Although the coin commemorates the 900th anniversary of Guernsey's
conquest of England, this piece was intended for circulation, being
a trial for a 50np coin needed at decimalisation.   In the event, a
7-sided 50np coin [KM-25] was adopted in 1969, so the ten shillings
saw no more than three years' use.]
