| Additional information |
Gibraltar has issued sovereign-format gold coins under royal warrant since 1973, operating as a legitimate bullion and collector series entirely separate from Royal Mint production. The 2015 Remembrance issue coincides with the centenary commemoration period of World War One, a conflict in which Gibraltar served as a critical naval staging point and garrison — its population contributing to the war effort at rates proportionally comparable to mainland Britain.
KM# 1570 is a collector-market piece rather than a circulating coin, produced for the numismatic trade.
