| Beschrijving voorzijde | Right-facing crowned effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, wearing the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland tiara, pearl drop earrings, and a pearl necklace, as modelled by engraver Raphael David Maklouf. The Queen's draped bust is rendered in fine detail with carefully engraved curled hair. The legend ELIZABETH II arcs along the left field, GIBRALTAR along the right, and the date 1998 appears below, with the engraver's initials RDM visible at the lower left of the bust truncation. The design is framed by a beaded inner border. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Gibraltar has issued commemorative crowns prolifically since the 1970s, often targeting thematic collector markets with subjects that have no particular connection to the territory. The Neanderthal angle is at least locally defensible: fossil remains discovered in Forbes' Quarry in 1848 — predating the Neander Valley find that gave the species its name — make Gibraltar one of the most significant Neanderthal sites in Europe. The Forbes' Quarry skull sat unrecognized in the Gibraltar Museum for years before its importance was understood.
