| Reverse description | A full-colour photographic portrait dominates the field, depicting Elvis Presley in mid-performance, mouth open in song and dressed in his iconic jewelled white jumpsuit, rendered against a dark background. To the lower right, a gold-plated vintage microphone is held in a raised hand, rendered in sculptural relief. Musical notes and staff lines in gold plate appear to the left of the field, evoking the atmosphere of a live concert. In the lower exergue, the facsimile cursive signature of Elvis Presley appears in black ink style lettering on a gold-plated ground. |

| Additional information |
Gibraltar has issued commemorative crowns under royal license since the 1970s, and its prolific pop-culture series — covering everyone from Marilyn Monroe to the Rolling Stones — exists largely because the territory's mint agreements impose no thematic restrictions that a sovereign central bank would typically enforce. The Elvis licensing rights, administered through Authentic Brands Group since 2013, make these issues legally straightforward but commercially crowded.
"All Shook Up" reached number one on both the Billboard pop and R&B charts in 1957, spending eight weeks at the top.
