| Beschrijving keerzijde | A Barbary ape, Gibraltar's iconic resident macaque, is depicted seated upright upon an ornate cushion, holding a key suspended on a chain in its lowered left paw — a reference to the symbolic guardianship of the Rock. An elaborate decorative background frames the central motif. The legend ROYAL PLATINUM OUNCE arcs around the upper field, with the date 2021, weight denomination 1 oz, and fineness specification FINE PLATINUM 999 completing the inscription around the periphery. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Gibraltar's Barbary ape coinage occupies a specific niche in the market for platinum bullion issues, and this 2021 piece is among the more recent entries in a series that has run in various formats and metals for decades. The apes themselves — Barbary macaques, not true apes — have inhabited the Upper Rock since at least the 18th century, and the popular legend holding that British sovereignty depends on their continued presence was reportedly reinforced by Churchill's direct order during World War II to replenish the colony's dwindling population from Morocco.
