| Obverse description | Right-facing effigy of Queen Elizabeth II wearing the George IV State Diadem and a pearl drop earring, after the third definitive portrait by Raphael David Maklouf. The legend ELIZABETH II arcs along the left rim and GIBRALTAR along the right, with the date 2011 below the truncation. A border of fine beads frames the entire design. |

Struck to mark the April 2011 marriage of Prince William and Catherine Middleton, this is one of dozens of near-identical commemorative crowns flooded onto the collector market by British Overseas Territories that year. Gibraltar, along with Ascension Island, Tristan da Cunha, and others, issued competing pieces under licensing arrangements — a practice that generates revenue for the issuing authority while producing coins that rarely, if ever, circulate.
