Additional information

Gibraltar's commemorative program has long served Crown dependency politics as much as numismatic interest, and this 2008 issue marking the First World War is no exception — released ninety years after the Armistice, it landed in a crowded field of British and Commonwealth WWI commemoratives from that anniversary cycle. Gibraltar holds particular peripheral relevance to the conflict: the Rock served as a critical resupply and convoy staging point throughout the war, though it saw no direct combat.
