| Additional information |
Gibraltar has historically used UK-sourced coin dies, but this issue was struck locally to mark the transition between monarchs — an administrative gap that briefly left the territory managing its own effigy succession outside the normal Royal Mint pipeline. The "Unseen Effigies" designation refers to portrait pairings that never appeared together on circulating coinage during Elizabeth II's lifetime, a consequence of Charles III's accession occurring after her death rather than during a shared regency or co-issue period.
