| Reverse description | A Spanish Imperial Eagle (Aquila adalberti) depicted in dynamic flight with wings fully spread and primary feathers fanned, banking to the left over a stylised mountain range rendered in low relief across the lower field. The bird's powerful form, including detailed feather texturing on the wings and tail, occupies the majority of the field. The conservation series legend 'PRESERVE PLANET EARTH' arcs around the upper periphery, while the denomination '1 CROWN' appears in two lines at the base of the design. |

| Additional information |
Gibraltar's 1990s crown program churned out themed issues at a pace that collectors either embraced or dismissed entirely — the Spanish Eagle series falling squarely into the latter camp for most serious numismatists. The coins were struck by the Pobjoy Mint under license, part of a broader commercialized commemorative strategy that Gibraltar, like several small British territories, leaned on heavily during this decade as a revenue mechanism rather than a genuine monetary need.
KM#241 shares dies and specifications with other issues in the run, and the series saw parallel releases in .925 silver for the proof market.
