Interesting fact
The 1999 Gibraltar 1 Crown coin commemorating the royal marriage of Prince Edward, Earl of Wessex, and Sophie Rhys-Jones is unique in that it features a double portrait of the couple, with Prince Edward on the obverse and Sophie Rhys-Jones on the reverse. This is the first time that a non-reigning member of the royal family has been featured on a British coin.
