| Additional information |
Gibraltar's 1990 FIFA World Cup issues were produced for the Italian tournament — the only World Cup held in Italy, staged across twelve cities simultaneously, and remembered as much for its defensive football and penalty shootouts as for anything else. The Gibraltar Government leaned heavily into commemorative gold output during this period, issuing multiple fractional denominations tied to the same event as a deliberate revenue strategy for a territory with no football team of its own.
The .9999 fineness is notably purer than the standard .999 used by most sovereign gold issues of the era.
