Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of the Eurofighter, a multirole combat aircraft that was developed by a consortium of European companies, including British Aerospace (now BAE Systems). The coin's design highlights Gibraltar's strategic location at the southern tip of the Iberian Peninsula, as well as its close ties with the United Kingdom. The use of silver in the coin's minting adds an extra layer of uniqueness and collectibility to this already rare and special coin.
