Gibraltar's Crown series of the early 1990s targeted the collector market aggressively, issuing silver proofs across a wide range of dog breed subjects. The Long-haired Dachshund issue is one of dozens from this period, produced for direct sale to thematic collectors rather than circulation. Mintages were typically low and controlled by the Gibraltar government, which had been issuing non-circulating legal tender crowns since the 1970s as a revenue-generating exercise.
KM#192a denotes the silver proof variant, distinguished from the base-metal business strike.
