Interesting fact
The Paddington Bear coin from Gibraltar features a unique design, showcasing Paddington Bear, a beloved character from children's literature, sitting on a bench with the Royal Crown on his head, surrounded by the inscription "ELIZABETH II GIBRALTAR 1998". This coin is a non-circulating legal tender, meaning it is not meant to be used as regular currency, but rather as a collector's item.
