Interesting fact
The 1999 Gibraltar 1 Crown coin featuring Elizabeth II (World War I - Glamis) has a unique design that sets it apart from other coins in the series. The coin's reverse side features a portrait of King George V, who ruled England during World War I, along with an image of the Glamis Castle in Scotland, which served as a military hospital during the war. This design was chosen to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the end of World War I and to honor the role that Gibraltar played in the conflict.
