Opschrift voorzijde GIBRALTAR · ELIZABETH II PM · 2001 ·
Beschrijving keerzijde The central platinum field features a boldly rendered interlaced Celtic cross, its arms decorated with knotwork and central pellets, set against a dark polished background. Superimposed behind the cross and rendered in the gold middle ring is the prow and hull of a Viking longship, its shields lining the strake and a dragon-headed prow curving upward to the left, juxtaposed with a domed classical or parliamentary building to the upper centre and a space satellite dish to the upper right, symbolising the passage from ancient to modern civilisation. The silver outer ring displays stars and cometary streaks against a milled ground, with the denomination legend · 5 CROWNS · arching along the lower arc and · 21ST CENTURY · arching along the upper arc, all in raised Latin lettering.

Aanvullende informatie

This piece is one of the most mechanically complex coins Gibraltar ever produced — joining three noble metals in a single planchet required bonding platinum, gold, and silver at tolerances that most mints weren't equipped to manage in 2001. Gibraltar's commemorative program at the turn of the millennium was notably aggressive, producing high-denomination trimetallic and bimetallic issues that far exceeded the technical ambitions of larger sovereign mints. The 155.5g weight places it firmly in the five-troy-ounce category, meaning the intrinsic metal value alone fluctuates substantially with spot prices across three separate markets.
