Interesting fact
The 1998 Gibraltar 1 Crown coin featuring Elizabeth II (Mermaid and Dolphin) is unique in that it depicts a mermaid and dolphin on the reverse side, which is a departure from the traditional designs found on coins featuring the British monarch. This design was created by sculptor and engraver, Robert Elderton, and was only produced for a limited time, making it a sought-after collector's item.
