| Obverse description | Third-generation effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, depicted as a right-facing draped bust wearing the George IV State Diadem, with a pearl drop earring visible. The portrait, executed in the style of Raphael Maklouf, occupies the central field. The legend ELIZABETH II arcs along the left rim, GIBRALTAR along the upper right, and the date 1997 descends the right side; the Pobjoy Mint privy mark PM appears in the lower field beneath the truncation. |

| Additional information |
Part of Gibraltar's extensive 1990s bullion and collector series, this fractional crown belongs to a run of themed issues commissioned largely for the international collector market rather than domestic circulation. The Inca subject matter reflects a broad editorial sweep across pre-Columbian civilizations that Gibraltar — with no historical connection to the Americas — used purely as commercial licensing content. The series sold well in catalogues and through dealer networks, particularly in the United States and Germany.
