She also gave her name to the Continent of Europe.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design that showcases the Queen's effigy in a crowned bust, surrounded by the inscription "ELIZABETH II" and "GIBRALTAR" in a circular pattern. The coin's design is a nod to the long history of the British monarchy and the significance of Gibraltar as a British Overseas Territory.
