Inscribed across the lower portion of the star in the field are the words YOURS 'TILL THE STARS LOSE THEIR GLORY, referencing her celebrated wartime song.

Vera Lynn recorded "We'll Meet Again" in 1939, just months before Britain declared war on Germany — a song that became so culturally embedded that it was still being cited in prime ministerial addresses during the 2020 COVID lockdowns, the same year this piece was issued. Gibraltar, a British Overseas Territory that endured its own wartime sieges and evacuations, has long leveraged Crown-sized commemoratives as a revenue stream rather than a circulating necessity.
Tombac — a brass alloy — with gold plating has no precious metal value to speak of. Collectors should know that going in.
