Two different definitive 50p designs have been issued on Guernsey coinage between 19 – the Ducal Cap and Freesia 50p coins. ![]() It must be distinctly understood that the States of Guernsey nor its employees can accept responsibility for the accuracy of the figures or for the consequences of any errors or omissions and these figures are supplied under that understanding.
