Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1999 Gibraltar 1 Crown - Elizabeth II (World War I - Glamis; Silver Proof) coin is that it features a unique design that commemorates the 80th anniversary of the end of World War I. The coin's reverse side depicts a soldier standing on the Glamis sandbags, with the words "Glamis 1918" inscribed above him, and a poppy wreath at the bottom of the coin. This design serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made during the war and the importance of remembering and honoring those who served.
