Gibraltar's pre-decimalization sixpence ceased to be legal tender in the United Kingdom following the 1971 conversion, but the coin retained a peculiar affection in British popular culture — particularly as a wedding token, a tradition rooted in the "something old, something new" custom. This issue revisits that sixpence association six decades on, as part of Gibraltar's long-running program of commemorative crowns issued under royal warrant.
Gold-plated copper-nickel crowns of this type are produced in significant quantities for the gift and collectibles market rather than numismatic circulation.
