| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a dynamic circular composition celebrating the four sections of the Duke of Edinburgh Award programme. Surrounding a central crowned shield bearing crossed keys — the arms of Gibraltar — are six vignettes illustrating young participants engaged in expedition activities including sailing, canoeing, cycling, hiking, and camping, as well as artistic and community pursuits such as violin playing and craft work. At the centre, the circular legend THE DUKE OF EDINBURGH'S AWARD encircles the shield. Below the central device, the inscriptions GIBRALTAR and 1 CROWN appear in two lines within the lower field. |

| Additional information |
The Duke of Edinburgh Award program — founded in 1956 by Prince Philip himself — had by 1996 enrolled participants across 50 countries, making it one of the most widely adopted youth development schemes in the Commonwealth. Gibraltar's decision to commemorate it reflects the territory's particular investment in maintaining visible ties to British institutional life, a political calculation that has shaped its commemorative coin program throughout the post-war decades.
