| Additional information |
Gibraltar's commemorative crown program has long operated as a revenue stream dressed as numismatic tribute, and this issue is a clear product of that tradition. The selective colour application — a printing process applied post-strike — was a technique Gibraltar's issuing authority leaned on heavily during the 2010s to add perceived value to base-metal pieces with thin gold plating.
Elizabeth II turned 90 on April 21, 2016, making her the longest-lived British monarch on record at that point.
