| Reverse description | A three-quarter length figure of Queen Elizabeth II, wearing a wide-brimmed hat and coat, waves to a jubilant crowd depicted in high relief behind her. Celebrants holding a Union Jack flag and bouquets of flowers fill the background field, evoking a public royal walkabout. The legend 80 GLORIOUS YEARS arcs along the upper rim, the dates 1997-2006 appear in the lower field within the central design, and the denomination FIVE POUNDS is inscribed along the lower rim. The composition is set within a polished inner border flanked by short rule stops at each side. |

| Additional information |
Issued to mark Elizabeth II's 80th birthday, this is one of dozens of commemorative crowns Gibraltar produced for Royal milestones during the 2000s — the territory's issuing authority leaned heavily on British sentiment to drive collector sales, a revenue stream that had little to do with local monetary needs. The KM#1304 attribution places it firmly in a prolific run of such pieces from the Royal Mint's contract work of the period.
