| Reverse description | The reverse presents a striking composite design combining a monochromatic photographic image of Elvis Presley performing energetically, depicted playing an acoustic guitar while singing, rendered in a black-and-white photographic style against a gold-plated field. A large vintage studio microphone on a stand occupies the lower right in raised gold relief, held by a hand, while decorative musical notes and swirling staff lines in gold fill the upper left background. A facsimile of Elvis Presley's cursive signature appears prominently in the lower centre field within an oval cartouche, serving as the primary legend. |

| Additional information |
Gibraltar has issued commemorative crowns under royal license for decades, exploiting its status as a British Overseas Territory to produce collectibles that circulate legally but are never intended to. This piece marks the 1956 double A-side single — released on one disc because RCA Victor's pressing plants were running at capacity and Presley's label needed simultaneous chart presence on both sides. It worked: both tracks hit number one independently.
