| Reverse description | Portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. Approved by the Palace in London, it is the first coin ever that pictures Queen in front of the Rock of Gibraltar – “the Rock” – synonymous with the territory of Gibraltar itself and a symbol of indomitableness. To refer to something as being “as solid as a rock of Gibraltar” means to be steadfast and resolute, like the people of Gibraltar themselves. |
