What is the value of a 1998 Bailiwick of Guernsey Five Pound coin?

Answer 1

The larger pre-1990 5 Pence coins were withdrawn from circulation and demonetised in 1991. So, unless they are part of a Proof or Uncirculated mint set or are individual Proof or Uncirculated coins and in absolute mint condition, they have little or no value.

The larger pre-1991 10 Pence coins were withdrawn from circulation and demonetised in 1993. So, unless they are part of a Proof or Uncirculated mint set or are individual Proof or Uncirculated coins and in absolute mint condition, they have little or no value.

The Bailiwick of Guernsey currency (GGY) is pegged at par with the British Pound Sterling (GBP) and the Guernsey decimal coinage is near identical in dimensions, composition and history to the equivalent British Coins.
