| Obverse description | The obverse features the third-portrait effigy of Queen Elizabeth II facing right, crowned and draped, wearing a pearl necklace and drop earring, as modelled by Raphael David Maklouf. The legend ELIZABETH II arcs along the left field, with GIBRALTAR · 1994 continuing along the right and lower right periphery. The engraver's initials RDM and the Pobjoy Mint mark PM appear in small characters at the base of the portrait. The design is framed by a fine beaded inner border and an outer reeded rim, with the mirror-polished proof fields providing strong contrast to the frosted relief. |
