| Additional information |
Gibraltar has issued commemorative crowns at a volume that strains credibility, and the 2005 Royal Visits series sits squarely in that tradition — produced for the collector market rather than circulation, with mintage figures kept deliberately opaque by the issuing authority. What distinguishes the Royal Visits theme historically is that Elizabeth II never actually visited Gibraltar during her reign; the territory's political sensitivity, given Spain's ongoing sovereignty claim, made any official visit diplomatically untenable throughout the twentieth century and into the twenty-first.
