Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1998 Gibraltar 50p Christmas coin is that it features a unique reverse design depicting a Christmas scene with the Three Wise Men, which was created by the artist John M. L. Mills. This design is different from the standard 50p coin designs featuring the Queen's portrait and the Gibraltar coat of arms. Additionally, the coin's gold composition and limited mintage of 5,000 coins make it a highly sought-after collector's item.
