| Additional information |
Issued to mark the 70th wedding anniversary of Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, this Gibraltar crown-format piece belongs to a long tradition of the territory using commemorative coinage as a revenue stream rather than a circulating necessity. Gibraltar has issued commemoratives under virtually every significant royal occasion since the 1970s, often in multiple metals and formats simultaneously.
