| Aanvullende informatie |
Gibraltar's defense-themed commemorative program in the 2000s leaned heavily on British military hardware, and the Eurofighter Typhoon was a natural subject — the aircraft had achieved Initial Operating Capability with the RAF only in 2003, making this a near-contemporaneous issue. Development of the Typhoon stretched across four decades and seven nations, with the original feasibility studies dating to 1979 and unit costs eventually exceeding £125 million per airframe.
Gibraltar itself hosts no Typhoon squadron; the nearest permanent deployment at the time of striking was RAF Coningsby in Lincolnshire.
