I wonder if the joint Guernsey/Alderney miniature sheet will turn out to be unique, given that it is (to the best of my recollection) the first Guernsey stamp so far to feature the King's head cameo in place of the more usual CR3 cipher. Time will tell whether this is a one-off or will be seen to mark a transition.
