| Additional information |
Issued to mark the 400th anniversary of the death of Elizabeth I in 1603 — though Gibraltar itself was not yet a British possession, having been captured in 1704 during the War of the Spanish Succession. The pairing of the two Elizabeths is a deliberate dynastic conceit, Gibraltar having become a consistent venue for commemorative Crown-sized issues throughout the 1990s under the authority of the Gibraltar Government.
KM#619 is part of a broader run of 1997 Gibraltar silver Crowns that appeared in proof and uncirculated finishes, most destined for collector sets rather than circulation.
