Issued to mark Elizabeth II's 80th birthday, this Gibraltar crown-sized piece is one of dozens of commemoratives produced by the territory during the 2000s under licensing arrangements that made Gibraltar a prolific — some would say excessive — source of royal occasion coinage. The "Coronation" subtitle references the 1953 ceremony, framing the birthday issue around a 53-year retrospective rather than the birthday itself.
KM#1299 is one of several near-identical Gibraltar issues from this period distinguished only by subtitle variants.
