| Additional information |
Issued in the centenary year of Nightingale's death, this Gibraltar crown is part of a broader commemorative program the territory ran through the early 2000s targeting the collector market rather than circulation. Nightingale died on 13 August 1910 at age 90, having largely withdrawn from public life decades earlier due to a debilitating illness — now thought by some medical historians to be brucellosis contracted during the Crimean campaign, not the nervous collapse contemporaries described.
