Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 2001 Gibraltar 50p Christmas coin is that it features a unique design that showcases a Christmas theme, with a depiction of the Nativity scene, surrounded by festive decorations and a sprig of holly. The coin's design is particularly notable because it is not commonly seen on coins, and it adds a touch of holiday cheer to the collectible piece. Additionally, the coin's silver content and proof finish make it a valuable and sought-after collector's item.
