| Reverse description | Central scene commemorating the Diamond Wedding Anniversary of Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, depicting the couple in their wedding attire as seen in 1947: the Queen in her bridal veil and gown, holding a bouquet of flowers, standing alongside the Duke of Edinburgh in naval dress uniform adorned with medals and decorations. The figures face each other in a tender celebratory composition rendered in high-relief proof finish. The curved legend DIAMOND WEDDING arcs above the central design, while the denomination ONE POUND appears in the exergue below. |

Gibraltar's position as a British Overseas Territory gives its government the unusual right to issue its own coinage while still featuring the British monarch — a quirk that has made Gibraltar mints prolific producers of commemorative gold issues aimed squarely at the collector market. The 2007 wedding portrait series sits in a long tradition of such issues, tied to no specific monetary need but authorized under Gibraltar's self-governing currency arrangements established in the 1990s.
KM#1336 corresponds to a sovereign-weight specification — 7.98 g at 22 ct — deliberately echoing the dimensions of the classic British gold sovereign to appeal to investors and collectors simultaneously.
