Jan 30 - Two New Gibraltar Silver Royal Coins Released
The Gibraltar Philatelic Bureau has announced two new magnificently designed variations of the Gibraltar Silver Royal, a legal tender coin with a face value of £15 containing one troy ounce of pure fine silver with a millesimal fineness of 999 (99.9%).
The Gibraltar Silver Royal is engraved on the obverse with a timeless effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, together with the image of the Rock of Gibraltar in the background and the inscription “Queen of Gibraltar”. The reverse of the Gibraltar Silver Royal depicts the Coat of Arms of Gibraltar.
The Coat of Arms on the GIBRALTAR SILVER ROYAL’s reverse is enhanced in 24-carat gold that highlights the complexities of the design. The British lion is completely in gold, while selective gilding of the unicorn accentuates its mane and, especially, its horn. The motto “Dieu et mon droit”—God and my right is emblazoned across the coin.
The coins are priced at £42.50 each and are sold inside a presentation case with a certificate of authenticity.
