The Limited Edition Gibraltar King Charles III Definitive Coins
Following the passing of Queen Elizabeth II in 2022, the very first King Charles III effigy was introduced onto Gibraltar’s commemorative coinage. However, the following year, the first circulating Gibraltar currency collection featuring His Majesty’s was issued, celebrating his coronation.
The 2023 Limited Edition Gibraltar Currency Coin Collection was the first full currency set available to feature the Raphael Maklouf King Charles III effigy on the obverse, including all denominations from 1p-£5, but it also included the last ever single metal round pound to be issued.
