| Beschrijving keerzijde | A winged angel, wreathed with flowers and depicted in three-quarter view, stands amid a profusion of blooming poppies rendered in high relief against a proof-polished field. The angel cradles poppy blooms in both hands, with large outstretched wings filling the upper field and a decorative beaded border encircling the entire design. A rectangular cartouche in the lower portion of the field bears the commemorative inscription 'LEST WE FORGET' in raised incuse lettering, serving as a solemn tribute to fallen soldiers. The overall composition is richly detailed, evoking a memorial aesthetic consistent with Remembrance Day iconography. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Gibraltar's coin program has long operated as a commercial venture more than a monetary one, issuing high-face-value legal tender pieces aimed squarely at the collector market. The "Lest We Forget" series trades on the centenary commemorations surrounding the First World War, a conflict in which Gibraltar functioned primarily as a naval coaling station and garrison rather than an active theater — a fact that gives the patriotic framing here a somewhat oblique connection to events being memorialized.
Struck in 22-carat gold at just under 40 grams, this is essentially a five-sovereign weight piece, a denomination with no organic circulation history in Gibraltar.
