| Obverse description | Right-facing truncated effigy of Queen Elizabeth II wearing the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland tiara, as designed by Ian Rank-Broadley. The legend ELIZABETH II GIBRALTAR flanks the portrait, with the date 2001 and engraver's initials IRB appearing in the field. The design is rendered in a refined relief characteristic of proof coinage. |

| Reverse description | Three-quarter length portrait of Charles Darwin facing right, wearing a broad-brimmed hat and displaying his characteristic long beard, dominating the left and centre of the field. To his right, a sailing ship — evoking HMS Beagle — is depicted on the sea, with a squatting hominid figure rendered in the foreground to symbolise the theory of evolution. At lower left, wheat sprigs and floral ornaments frame an inscribed tablet bearing Darwin's name and dates; the denomination numeral 1 appears within a circle at the base, with the word CROWN along the lower rim. The arc legend THE VICTORIAN AGE curves along the upper periphery. |
