| Additional information |
Issued to mark the centenary of Beatrix Potter's creation of Peter Rabbit, first published in a private letter in 1893 before Frederick Warne & Co. eventually brought it to print in 1902. Gibraltar was among several small jurisdictions that issued commemorative bullion coinage under licensing arrangements with the Potter estate during the early 1990s, a period when character-themed gold fractionals found a ready secondary market among collector-investors rather than numismatists proper.
The .9999 fineness puts it a step above the standard .999 gold used by most contemporary commemoratives.
