Gibraltar Coins
Gibraltar' s numismatics reflect the rich history and unique status of this British Overseas Territory. Although Gibraltar uses the Gibraltar pound as its official currency, its monetary system is closely linked to that of the United Kingdom, with a one-to-one parity with the pound sterling.
Current currency in circulation
The Gibraltar pound is divided into 100 pence and circulates in the form of coins and banknotes. Coins in circulation include denominations of 1, 2, 5, 5, 10, 20 and 50 pence, as well as £1 and £2. Banknotes are issued in denominations of 5, 10, 20, 50 and 100 pounds. A distinctive aspect of Gibraltar currency is that it features unique designs that reflect local culture and history, such as the famous Rock of Gibraltar and native wildlife.
Monetary history and highlights
Prior to the introduction of the Gibraltar pound in 1898, Gibraltar used a variety of currencies, including the Spanish peseta and British pound sterling. An important milestone in Gibraltar's numismatics was the issue of its first commemorative coin in 1967, celebrating the sovereignty referendum. Since then, Gibraltar has issued numerous commemorative and collector coins, many of which are highly prized by numismatists due to their unique designs and limited mintages.
