| Additional information |
Gibraltar's Crown series has long served as a vehicle for commemorative issues aimed squarely at the collector market, and this piece — marking the 70th wedding anniversary of Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip — sits firmly in that tradition. The platinum plating over copper-nickel is a cost-effective nod to the anniversary metal without the economics of a genuine platinum strike. Philip died in April 2021, making 2017 the last milestone anniversary the couple would both see celebrated in coin form.
