1 Crown - Royal Wedding Gibraltar

The Gibraltar Government has revealed the design of the New Gibraltar Royal Wedding.

One side of the new coin depicts the effigy of Her Majesty with the words “Queen Elizabeth II, Gibraltar” and the year. The other side depicts an image of the Royal Couple and the wedding date

The Government of Gibraltar first approved the coin and then it is forwarded for Palace approval - where it is seen by HM The Queen. 
 
Once it is formally approved, the coin design is forwarded to the Mint so that a sample coin can be produced.  The Mint initially produce a 'plaster' model of the coin (which is sculpted either by hand onto a circular piece of plaster, or digitally - a new innovation). Both methods require extreme skill. From the plaster model, a steel die is engraved, which is then used to strike an individual coin. 

These coins are highly collectable and will be very sought after and difficult to get.

The Gibraltar Philatelic Bureau has very limited numbers of these coins available.
