Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1998 Gibraltar 5 Pounds Silver Proof coin is that it features a unique double-effigy design, with both a traditional portrait of Queen Elizabeth II on one side and a cameo portrait of the Queen on the other side, surrounded by a wreath of olive branches. This distinctive design was created to commemorate the Millennium and highlights the dual role of the Queen as both the head of state and the head of the Commonwealth.
