| Obverse description | Third effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, depicting a right-facing truncated bust of the Queen wearing the George IV State Diadem, as modelled by Raphael David Maklouf. The legend 'ELIZABETH II GIBRALTAR' arcs around the upper periphery, with the date below, all within a beaded border. The portrait presents the Queen in a mature and stately manner consistent with Maklouf's third coinage portrait, adopted for Gibraltar's coinage. |

| Additional information |
Gibraltar's penny coinage of this period reflects the territory's long-running practice of issuing distinct local coinage despite full monetary integration with sterling — a political statement maintained more through tradition than economic necessity. The "bigger bust" designation distinguishes this from an earlier effigy variant within the same KM series, a portrait change driven by the Royal Mint's periodic updates to the definitive effigy of Elizabeth II rather than any local decision.
