Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1999 Gibraltar 1 Crown coin is that it features a unique gold plating over a silver base, making it a distinctive and valuable collector's item. The gold plating is 24-karat gold, which is 99.9% pure gold, while the silver base is 92.5% pure silver, also known as sterling silver. This combination of precious metals gives the coin a striking appearance and adds to its collectibility.
