Comment

Part of 5 coins set:

 

As a maritime nation, there is a rich tradition of seafaring and trade that has resulted in many pubs having a name related to ships.

In some cases, the ships depicted on these signs were specific, such as Victory, Vice-Admiral Nelson’s flagship.

Interesting fact

The Ship Inn, which is featured on the reverse side of the coin, is a historic pub located in Gibraltar's old town. It's believed to be one of the oldest pubs in Gibraltar, dating back to the 18th century. The pub has been renovated and expanded over the years, but it still maintains much of its original charm and character. It's a popular spot for locals and tourists alike, offering a range of drinks and traditional pub fare.
