Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Sovereign - Elizabeth II (Year of the Three Kings - Edward VIII) 2016 coin from Gibraltar is that it features a unique double effigy design, with both Queen Elizabeth II and King Edward VIII depicted on the obverse side of the coin. This is a rare occurrence in coinage, as most coins typically feature only one monarch at a time. The inclusion of both monarchs on this coin reflects the historical significance of the Year of the Three Kings, which marks the 80th anniversary of Edward VIII's abdication and the subsequent accession of his brother, George VI, to the throne.
