| Beschrijving keerzijde | Five bottlenose dolphins arranged in a dynamic, swirling composition encircle the large numeral '50' at the centre of the field, evoking a sense of fluid, natural movement. The dolphins are depicted in varying orientations — leaping, diving, and gliding — filling the heptagonal flan with naturalistic relief. The engraver's initials appear at the base of the design. The denomination numeral is boldly rendered in the central field, flanked by the intertwining forms of the dolphins. The mint mark PM and the abbreviated unit AB appear within the design. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Gibraltar's heptagonal 50 pence series from this period served a dual administrative purpose: issuing a distinct local coinage that nonetheless remained legal tender at parity with the pound sterling. The dolphin subject was no accident — the Strait of Gibraltar hosts one of the densest common dolphin populations in the western Mediterranean, and the territory had been using marine wildlife imagery on its coinage since the 1980s to reinforce a distinct Gibraltarian identity separate from both Britain and Spain.
KM#778 ran across six years without design modification, suggesting steady local demand and no production controversies worth recording.
