| Reverse description | Central effigy of a robed queen, modelled after William Wyon's celebrated Una and the Lion design, depicted standing in full figure facing left, her right hand resting upon a large lion walking at her side and her left hand holding a sceptre. A key lies in the exergue beneath the lion, referencing Gibraltar's heraldic tradition.
