"Guernsey is one of the Channel Islands as Jersey. It forms with the islands of Herm, Sarq and Alderney a Bailiwick.

As a Crown dependency they may have their own post and coins.

The first Europa stamps of Guernsey where issued in 1976. Interesting to note, that Great-Britain issued Europa stamps again only in 1980.

The name of "Bailiwick of Guernsey" was on the stamps of this island till 1981.

The island of Alderney have their own stamps but don't issue Europa stamps."
