| 裏面の説明 | The reverse presents a central vignette of the Moorish Castle, a historic fortification on the Rock of Gibraltar, rendered in detailed intaglio engraving. To the right of the castle stands a portrait of Tariq ibn Ziyad, the Muslim Umayyad commander who led the conquest of Visigothic Hispania in 711–718 A.D. and consolidated his forces at the Rock that now bears his name. The composition is set against a multicolour guilloche underprint with the denomination and issuer's name incorporated into the design. |

Gibraltar's 1995 series was produced during an awkward political moment — the border with Spain had only fully reopened in 1985 after a sixteen-year closure ordered by Franco, and the territory was still navigating the economic and social aftermath of that isolation. A banknote series bearing the monarch's portrait was, in that climate, a pointed statement of constitutional status rather than routine currency administration.
Tariq ibn Ziyad, the Berber commander for whom the Rock itself is named — Jabal Tariq, mountain of Tariq — crossed from North Africa in 711 AD with a force that would begin the Umayyad conquest of Iberia. His appearance on a British colonial note is quietly remarkable.
