1 Crown - Elizabeth II Air Raid Wardens

Issued as part of Gibraltar's long-running commemorative program marking the 70th anniversary of the Blitz, this crown honors the ARP wardens who patrolled Gibraltar's streets and tunnel networks during sustained Axis bombardment between 1940 and 1944. The Rock's civilian population was largely evacuated to Britain, Jamaica, and Madeira by 1942, leaving behind a garrison and essential workers — the wardens among them — in one of the most densely bombed Allied positions in the western Mediterranean.
