One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design that highlights Gibraltar's history and culture. The coin's reverse side depicts a telescope, which represents the territory's long history of astronomical observations and discoveries. The telescope is surrounded by a stylized representation of the night sky, complete with stars and a crescent moon. This design not only showcases Gibraltar's contributions to the field of astronomy but also serves as a symbol of the territory's connection to the wider universe.
