Interesting fact
The 1 Crown - Elizabeth II (State Visits) 2005 coin from Gibraltar features a unique design that commemorates Queen Elizabeth II's state visit to Gibraltar in 2004. The coin's obverse side features a portrait of the Queen, while the reverse side depicts an image of the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh standing on the balcony of the Gibraltar Parliament building, waving to the crowd. This design was created by the Gibraltarian artist, John Trudgian, and it's a rare example of a coin that captures a specific moment in time and place.
