| Obverse description | The obverse features the Royal Arms of the United Kingdom rendered in full heraldic relief at the centre of the heptagonal field, depicting the quartered shield supported by the crowned lion and unicorn with the Garter motto belt surrounding the escutcheon. The design occupies the majority of the field in a bold, detailed engraving. The peripheral legend reads ELIZABETH II · D · G · REGINA · GIBRALTAR · in raised Latin characters, arcing around the upper portion of the coin. The date 2022 appears in the lower exergue beneath the arms. |

| Additional information |
Gibraltar's 50 pence pieces occupy a peculiar constitutional niche — the territory issues its own coinage under Royal Assent but the currency circulates only locally, legal tender nowhere else in the British family of currencies. The Castle series has run across multiple reigns and formats, with colourised cupro-nickel issues aimed squarely at the collector market rather than circulation.
KM#1869.1 distinguishes this from at least one parallel variant, suggesting a companion issue struck the same year under a different specification or finish.
