| Reverse description | A competitive swimmer is depicted in dynamic relief executing a butterfly or freestyle stroke, with the figure rendered in a stylized graphic treatment showing the athlete's body arching powerfully above the surface of the water. Flowing horizontal lines in the lower field represent the water, conveying a strong sense of motion and athletic energy. A city skyline is visible in the background to the right, adding context to the sporting scene. The legend OLYMPIC GAMES arcs along the upper periphery, and the date 2020 appears in the lower field. |

| Additional information |
Gibraltar has issued Olympic-themed coinage for decades despite never having competed in the Olympic Games under its own flag — as a British Overseas Territory, its athletes qualify only for British teams. The swimming subject here sits within a long-running series that leans heavily on international sporting occasions Gibraltar has no direct stake in.
KM#1730 was struck at the tail end of a period when Gibraltar's Royal Mint issues were increasingly aimed at the collector market rather than circulation, with .925 silver crown-sized pieces serving primarily as bullion-adjacent shelf pieces.
