| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse depicts an open wooden coffin shown in three-quarter perspective, with a recumbent figure lying within, rendered in fine engraved detail against a mirror-polished field. Stylised bats in flight are scattered throughout the surrounding field, evoking the gothic atmosphere of the Dracula narrative. An inscribed text reading 'I saw the Count lying within the box' appears to the right of the coffin in a literary hand, referencing the famous passage from Bram Stoker's novel. The denomination 50 PENCE is inscribed along the lower margin in bold Latin capitals. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Gibraltar has issued commemorative 50 pence pieces under its own authority since 1988, a privilege derived from its status as a British Overseas Territory with autonomous coinage rights. The "Coffin" designation almost certainly refers to the coin's place in a Halloween or macabre-themed series, a format Gibraltar's treasury has leaned into aggressively over the past decade to drive collector demand from a territory with a resident population of under 35,000.
Gold-plated silver strikes of this type are typically produced in limited runs for the collector market, with base circulation coinage issued separately in cupro-nickel.
