Information about legend: Elizabeth dei gratia britanniar. reg: f:d Alderney c.i.

Translated from Latin: Elizabeth the Second, by the grace of God, Queen of the Britains, Defender of the Faith. Alderney, Channel Islands.

This legend, in this not very abbreviated form, was only used on a series of commemorative coins issued for the Crown dependency of Alderney. The series featured a new edition of the 1847 Gothic Crown, and it was intended to mirror the legend of Queen Victoria on the crown, in a way similar to the imagery of the series which mirrored the imagery of the original crown.
