| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse depicts a portrait bust of the celebrated Renaissance sculptor Benvenuto Cellini juxtaposed with his masterwork, the bronze sculpture 'Perseus with the Head of Medusa.' The composition renders Cellini's likeness in profile alongside the heroic figure of Perseus triumphantly holding aloft the severed head of the Gorgon Medusa. The date '2021' and the inscription 'MEDUSA'S HEAD' appear in the field, identifying the subject in Latin script. |

Perseus and Medusa have been a recurring subject in Gibraltar's bullion and collector series, but the 2021 issue belongs to a broader wave of mythological gold releases from smaller British Overseas Territories that leveraged the Royal Mint of Gibraltar's flexibility to compete with established sovereign bullion programs. Gibraltar's coinage authority, unusually, allows it to issue legal tender denominations independently while still operating under British monetary oversight — a quirk of its constitutional status that has made it a productive vehicle for high-premium collector issues since the 1990s.
