| Additional information |
Issued in 2002, twenty years after William's actual christening at Buckingham Palace in August 1982, this is a retrospective commemorative with no particular numismatic urgency behind it. Gibraltar's prolific commemorative program during this period produced dozens of royal-themed crowns annually, many sharing the same 28.28g copper-nickel specification across entirely unrelated subjects.
