| Reverse description | The reverse depicts two superimposed scenes commemorating the XVII Winter Olympic Games at Lillehammer 1994. In the upper field, a four-man bobsled team is shown in an open sled viewed from a slightly elevated angle, helmeted athletes seated in tandem. In the lower foreground, a streamlined closed four-man bobsled races diagonally across the field at speed, rendered in sharp relief against parallel track lines. The curved legend XVII WINTER GAMES · LILLEHAMMER arcs around the upper periphery, with the date 1994 at the right and the denomination 1 CROWN along the lower border, all separated by raised dots. |

| Additional information |
Gibraltar's early 1990s Olympic sports series was a prolific commercial program aimed squarely at the collector market, issued through the Gibraltar Government in volumes calibrated for sets rather than circulation. The 1992 Barcelona Games prompted a wave of these proofs across multiple commonwealth territories, and Gibraltar — with no Olympic team of its own — leaned heavily into the format as a revenue mechanism. KM#147a is the silver iteration of a base-metal type struck simultaneously, the two sharing dies.
