| Beschrijving voorzijde | Right-facing crowned effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, executed in the third portrait style by Raphael David Maklouf, depicting the Queen wearing the George IV State Diadem, drop earrings, and a pearl necklace. The draped bust is rendered in high relief against a mirror-polished field. The legend ELIZABETH II arcs along the left rim, while GIBRALTAR and the date 1997 appear to the right, all in Latin script. The engraver's initials RDM and the Pobjoy Mint mark PM appear in small characters at the lower right of the truncation. A fine beaded border runs along the coin's periphery. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Gibraltar's 1997 coinage program leaned heavily into its geographic identity — the territory sits at the mouth of the Mediterranean where ancient cartographers placed the boundary of the known world. The bimetallic format here is deliberate: the gold centre reads as the rock itself, the silver ring as surrounding sea.
Only one gram of the gold is .999 fine, making this more a novelty bimetallic than a bullion piece — the silver ring carries most of the mass.
