Interesting fact
The 1998 Gibraltar 1 Crown coin featuring Elizabeth II (Two players, one with ball) is a unique collector's item due to its erroneous depiction of the Queen's effigy. The coin was minted with a reverse image of the Queen's head, showing her facing to the right instead of the customary left. This mistake was quickly corrected, making the error coins highly sought after by collectors.
