The type of all the above copper and bronze issues for Guernsey remains
generally the same, there being, of course, specified the various dates
and differences for value.
The description of one coin, as following, will therefore answer in
general terms for the whole of the issues:--
_O._ The Guernsey Arms [_gules_, three lions passant gardant _or_],
surmounted by a sprig of three laurel leaves, the whole within two
laurel branches fastened by a ribbon, and with GUERNSEY under.
_R._ 8 |DOUBLES| 1834, in three lines. Minor points, such as the
omission or insertion of the wreath of laurel and the beaded circle,
are fully described in the works of Mr. James Atkins[M] and of Mr. D.
F. Howorth[N], and need not therefore be repeated here.
