To the left, a Barbary macaque and a compass-rose guilloche medallion are set above the tercentenary dates '1704–2004' and the Gibraltar key emblem. Along the right margin, a vertical panel carries a multicolour montage of historical figures spanning three centuries of British Gibraltar, inscribed 'tercentenary' vertically alongside the dates '1704' and '2004'. |
