| Beschrijving keerzijde | A multi-layered commemorative composition depicting scenes from the Dover Strait naval theatre of the First World War. In the foreground, a naval officer in uniform is shown in right-facing profile, alongside armed ratings manning what appears to be a deck gun. Behind them, a vessel with visible superstructure is set against a background scene of troops massing on land. The dates 1914 - 1918 arc across the upper field, while the legend DOVER STRAIT curves along the lower portion of the design within the beaded border. |

The Strait of Dover selection within this commemorative series references the critical naval chokepoint where the Dover Patrol operated from 1914 to 1918, mining the Channel and running continuous anti-submarine operations to prevent German U-boats from accessing the Atlantic shipping lanes. The patrol's success — denying free passage to the majority of U-boats attempting the strait — is frequently overshadowed by the larger Jutland narrative, but the Channel blockade was arguably the more consequential sustained operation of the naval war.
Gibraltar's role as issuer carries a quiet irony: another strait, another chokepoint, a different century.
