The 1 Crown - Elizabeth II (Uranus) 2001 coin from Gibraltar features an unusual design, depicting a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II on one side and an image of the planet Uranus on the other. This unique design was created to commemorate the 2001 total solar eclipse, which was visible from Gibraltar.
