Interesting fact
The 1999 Gibraltar 1 Crown coin featuring King Richard III is a unique piece, as it was issued to commemorate the 500th anniversary of Richard III's death in 1485. It's a silver proof coin, meaning it was struck multiple times to create a highly detailed and polished finish. The coin's design features an image of King Richard III on the obverse (front) side, while the reverse (back) side bears an image of Queen Elizabeth II. The coin has a diameter of 38.61mm and a weight of 28.28 grams. It's a non-circulating coin, meaning it was not intended for general circulation and was instead produced for collectors.
