Interesting fact
The 1981 Gibraltar 50 Pounds coin commemorating the Royal Wedding of Prince Charles and Lady Diana Spencer is a unique and valuable collector's item. One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a rare double portrait of the royal couple, with Prince Charles on the obverse (front) side and Lady Diana on the reverse (back) side. This distinctive design was created by sculptor and engraver, Raphael Maklouf, and is not found on any other coin. Additionally, the coin's gold content and limited mintage of only 25,000 pieces make it a highly sought-after collectible among numismatists and royalty enthusiasts.
