Bailiwick of Guernsey 5 pounds Robert Falcon Scott silver proof coin 2006

The Bailiwick of Guernsey £5 silver proof coin issued in 2006 commemorates the legendary explorer Captain Robert Falcon Scott (1868–1912), whose heroic Antarctic expeditions became a symbol of courage and sacrifice. The obverse features the elegant effigy of Queen Elizabeth II with the inscription ELIZABETH II BAILIWICK OF GUERNSEY 2006.
