| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse features a stylised design commemorating the centenary of Remembrance, incorporating a clock face or rose window motif rendered in fine detail across the field, evoking the symbolic imagery of the Armistice. Overlaid upon this decorative background is a right-facing portrait of King George V, accompanied by the legend GEORGIVS V D.G. BRITT.OMN.REX. The commemorative inscription REVERENT REMEMBRANCE OF THE GLORIOUS DEAD arcs around the upper periphery of the coin. The overall composition combines Edwardian royal portraiture with symbolic funerary and temporal imagery appropriate to the WWI centenary theme. |

Gibraltar's sovereign issues occupy a peculiar legal space — the territory has struck gold sovereigns continuously since 1975, despite the sovereign being nominally a British coin, leveraging a royal warrant that successive UK governments have quietly tolerated rather than formally sanctioned. This 2019 piece marks the centenary of the Two Minutes' Silence, first observed on 11 November 1919 at the suggestion of South African soldier Sir Percy FitzPatrick, after King George V adopted the idea and issued a royal proclamation.
The silence itself was reportedly inspired by a practice FitzPatrick witnessed in Cape Town during the war.
