| Additional information |
Gibraltar has used crown-sized commemorative issues as a revenue stream since the 1970s, producing them in volumes that far exceed any genuine local demand. This 2001 piece marks the birth of Peter Phillips in 1977 — son of Princess Anne and Mark Phillips, and the Queen's first grandchild — but was struck nearly a quarter-century after the event it commemorates, a gap that reflects commercial scheduling rather than historical urgency.
