| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a dynamic full-figure portrait of Elvis Presley in performance, shown from a low angle as he sings passionately into a handheld microphone held in his left hand while his right arm is raised aloft with index finger pointing upward. He is dressed in his iconic heavily embellished stage jumpsuit, rendered in fine engraved detail including decorative studding and appliqué motifs on the belt and collar. The portrait fills the majority of the plectrum-shaped field, conveying energy and showmanship. In the upper left of the field, Elvis Presley's cursive facsimile signature appears as the sole legend, inscribed in a flowing script befitting the commemorative subject. |

| Additional information |
Gibraltar has issued commemorative crowns under royal effigy authority since the 1970s, and the territory's mint program has leaned aggressively into pop culture licensing for decades — Elvis among a long roster of subjects that includes everything from WWII aircraft to Star Trek. The plectrum shape is a deliberate departure from round flans, requiring a separate die-cutting process after striking.
Gold-plated copper-nickel at this weight puts it firmly in the novelty tier, not the bullion one.
