| Additional information |
Gibraltar has issued commemorative crowns under its own authority since 1967, a quirk of its constitutional status that allows the territory to produce legal tender independently of the Royal Mint. The Magna Carta subject was a popular choice among Commonwealth and British Overseas Territory mints in the late 2000s, resulting in a crowded field of near-identical issues from multiple jurisdictions in the same period — a point worth noting for collectors building thematic sets.
