What does s'ballivie insvle degernereve mean?
S'BALLIVIE INSVLE DEGERNERE VE is the inscription on most Bailiwick of Guernsey coins from about 1956 to 1984. As close as I can find to a resonable translation is "The Bailiwick of the Island of Guernsey". A Bailiwick is the jurisdiction of a Bailiff. The expression seems to derive from one of the old languages spoken on Guernsey, Guernesiais (Guernsey Norman), Sercquiais (Sark-French), or Auregnais (Norman dialect of Alderney) which is no longer spoken. All three languages have their roots in the Norman language and all belong to the Indo-European family of languages which embraces most of the European languages.
