Comment
Coin in original box with certificateInteresting fact
The 1997 Gibraltar 5 Pounds coin commemorating the Arrival of Commodore Nelson features a unique design element - a cameo portrait of Horatio Nelson, created using a special technique that involves layering a thin layer of 24-karat gold on top of the silver coin. This results in a striking contrast between the gold cameo and the silver background, making the coin a truly distinctive and collectible piece.
