| Beschrijving keerzijde | A finely detailed high-relief effigy of a Barbary macaque (Macaca sylvanus), the iconic symbol of Gibraltar, depicted in profile facing left and seated upon a rocky surface, rendered with naturalistic sculptural precision by engraver Michael Rizzello. Partial legend visible around the upper and lower periphery, though largely truncated by the square planchet format, reading fragments consistent with 'GIBRALTAR' above and the denomination '25' below. The composition emphasises the animal's musculature and fur texture, set against a deeply mirrored proof field. The square planchet with rounded corners frames the design in an unconventional format typical of trial and pattern strikings of this period. |

Gibraltar's 1971 coinage programme coincided with decimalization across British territories, and this piece is a reverse trial — struck to test and approve a design before committing to full production. Trial pieces in silver at crown weight were standard practice for the Royal Mint's approval process, meaning this coin may never have been intended for circulation at all. The KM# Pn1 designation confirms its status as the first recorded pattern for the series.
