50 Pence - Elizabeth II 3rd portrait

Gibraltar's 50 pence issues from this period were produced under the terms of the Gibraltar coinage arrangements with the Royal Mint, though Gibraltar has periodically used independent minting contracts — this series was struck by the Pobjoy Mint. The territory's coinage rights derive from a longstanding arrangement separate from UK domestic coinage, meaning Gibraltar legally issues its own currency despite the pound sterling circulating alongside it.
