1/4 Sovereign - Elizabeth II We Will Remember Them

Gibraltar has issued commemorative quarter sovereigns with some regularity since the 1990s, attaching them to anniversaries and remembrance themes with varying degrees of historical justification. The "We Will Remember Them" phrase derives from Laurence Binyon's 1914 poem "For the Fallen," written just weeks after the outbreak of the First World War and first published in The Times that September — well before the war's outcome was known.

The quarter sovereign denomination itself traces to a British Royal Mint format last struck for circulation in 1853.
