Part of Gibraltar's prolific commemorative program of the early 1990s, this crown belongs to a series celebrating Beatrix Potter characters issued under license — a commercial licensing arrangement that produced dozens of collector-targeted strikes across multiple metals and finishes during this period. Potter's Mr. Jeremy Fisher, the hapless fishing frog first published in 1906, appeared on coins from several issuing authorities simultaneously, Gibraltar among them.
The copper-nickel version was struck in the largest quantities and saw essentially no circulation.
