Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1997 Gibraltar Christmas 50p coin is that it features a unique design that showcases a traditional Christmas scene, with a wreath surrounding a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. This design was created by the artist, Leslie Durbin, and was specifically commissioned for this coin. The coin's design is particularly notable because it deviates from the standard design used on British coins, which typically features a portrait of the Queen on one side and a symbol or image related to the coin's denomination on the other. The Christmas-themed design of this coin makes it a popular collector's item, especially among those who collect coins with unique or seasonal designs.
