| Additional information |
Gibraltar's commemorative crown program of the early 2000s was prolific to the point of diminishing collector interest, with dozens of themed issues produced annually for the souvenir and gift market rather than for serious numismatic circulation. This piece marks the birth of Elizabeth II's first grandchild, Peter Phillips, born in 1977 — a gap of nearly a quarter century between the event and the coin that acknowledged it.
