Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique reversed effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, with her head facing to the right instead of the usual left. This design was specifically created to symbolize the role of Gibraltar as a British Overseas Territory during World War II, and to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the war's end.
