附加信息	Issued to mark the 400th anniversary of Drake's death off the coast of Portobelo, Panama, in January 1596 — he died of dysentery aboard his own ship and was buried at sea in a lead coffin. Gibraltar's connection to Drake is indirect at best; the Rock changed hands between Spain and England definitively only in 1713 under the Treaty of Utrecht, more than a century after Drake made his reputation harassing Spanish colonial shipping in the same Atlantic waters.
