| Reverse description | Full-length enthroned effigy of Queen Elizabeth II in coronation regalia, seated facing front upon the Coronation Chair, wearing the St. Edward's Crown and full royal robes. The Queen holds the Sovereign's Sceptre with Cross in her right hand and the Sovereign's Orb in her left, with the architectural arches of Westminster Abbey rendered in the background field, evoking the 1953 Coronation ceremony. The circumferential legend HER MAJESTY QUEEN ELIZABETH II reads across the upper field, with the Royal motto DIEU ET MON DROIT inscribed along the lower arc, all separated by raised dot stops. |

Gibraltar's jubilee issues occupy a peculiar corner of the commemorative market — the territory has produced Crown-series pieces for virtually every royal milestone since the 1970s, often in denominations and compositions that have no equivalent in British or Commonwealth mainstream coinage. The 2022 Platinum Jubilee marked 70 years on the throne, a record no British monarch had previously reached.
The composition here is worth parsing: a .375 gold core — 9 carat, the minimum legally marketable as gold in the UK — plated in fine .999 gold. It is not deceptive, but it is engineered to hit a retail price point while carrying "gold" in the description.
