| Obverse description | Right-facing effigy of Queen Elizabeth II wearing the George IV State Diadem, as modelled by engraver Raphael David Maklouf — the third definitive portrait used on Gibraltar coinage. The legend encircles the bust in the field, incorporating the denomination ONE CROWN. The initials RDM appear below the truncation, attributing the portrait to its sculptor. |

Gibraltar's Crown issues occupy an unusual niche: the territory issues its own coinage under Royal Mint license but operates entirely outside the UK's domestic coinage framework, giving its commemorative program considerably more latitude than anything struck for circulation in Britain. This piece uses the fifth and final Jody Clark effigy of Elizabeth II, introduced in 2015 — the same portrait that appears on standard UK coinage from that year onward, making "last effigy" an accurate designation only until a new monarch's coinage displaces it entirely.
Clark was 33 when selected, the youngest artist to portray a reigning British monarch on coinage in modern times.
