| Obverse description | Third-generation effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, designed by Raphael David Maklouf, depicted as a right-facing truncated bust wearing the George IV State Diadem and draped robes. The portrait is rendered in a refined sculptural style characteristic of Maklouf's coinage work for Commonwealth territories. The legend ELIZABETH II GIBRALTAR arcs along the upper periphery, with the date 2004 and the engraver's initials RDM positioned in the lower field. |

| Reverse description | The reverse features a finely detailed engraving of tall-masted sailing warships under full sail on a turbulent sea, with the iconic limestone promontory of the Rock of Gibraltar rising dramatically in the background. The scene commemorates the tercentenary of British occupation of Gibraltar (1704–2004) and evokes the naval heritage of the Strait, referencing also the Battle of Trafalgar of 1805. The commemorative dates 1704–2004 are inscribed in a bold arc along the upper periphery. The legend BATTLE OF TRAFALGAR 1805 appears in smaller lettering within the lower central field, above the denomination FIFTY 50 PENCE which arcs prominently along the lower edge. |
