2016 Bailiwick of Jersey Queen Elizabeth 90th Birthday

I received a really cool coin for Easter today, celebrating Queen Elizabeth's 90th Birthday, which is April 21st. She will be the first British Monarch to reach the age of 90. I would not be surprised if she is still ruling 10 years from now!

I was unable to get a good photo, but my brother was able to, and these are his work.

Very, very cool!

This is a large issue and made of, I believe, brass. (metal content is not as important to me as subject content)

This is my first non-US coin from 2016, and it is spectacular!

One from Every Country #11: Bailiwick of Guernsey

Been a while since I posted in this series, but my copy of Coin World came in the mail today and after reading it, it reminded me to post.

The next country in line is the Bailiwick of Guernsey. This is a country I don't know a whole lot about, and this coin is the only item I have from the country. I got this one for Christmas a couple of years back.

The coin in my collection is actually uncirculated, but my scanner has many issues and isn't really able to capture it properly; especially on the obverse.

This is one of many countries that has Queen Elizabeth II on their coinage, the back depicts a large crab which fits into the popular animal themed topical collecting habits of many collectors.
