Interesting fact
The 1999 Gibraltar 1/32 Crown coin made of gold (.9999) weighing 1g features an unusual design, as it depicts King Richard I, also known as Richard the Lionheart, on the obverse, instead of the typical portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. This design choice was made to commemorate the 800th anniversary of King Richard's coronation.
