Comment
Comparing 2007, 2008 and 2009 years you can see many differences between 2007 and the following years. The first one regards the look of the coin, the 2007 is matte and has a rough finish on both sides. Another difference is in the position of the lettering in the obverse (see the arrows in the picture): the upper left corner of the heptagon corresponds to TH of Elizabeth II in 2007 year and to the space between H and II in the following years. The upper right corner corresponds to the B of Gibraltar in 2007 and to RA in the following years.
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design that commemorates the 300th anniversary of the Capture of Gibraltar by British forces in 1704. The coin's design showcases an image of the Rock of Gibraltar, along with the dates "1704" and "2004" to mark the tercentenary of the event. The coin's redesign in 2006 was done to include the new portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, which was introduced on all British coins that year.
