Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design that showcases the unity of the European Union. The coin's obverse side features a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, while the reverse side features the emblem of the European Union, which includes a circle of 12 stars, representing the original member states of the EU. This design was specifically created to commemorate Gibraltar's membership in the European Union and to promote unity among the member states.
