1980 Gibraltar Proof Gold 50 Pounds Admiral Nelson
Struck in 1980, this gold sovereign coin from Gibraltar carries a face value of 50 Pounds. The issue serves as a commemorative tribute marking 175 years since the passing of Admiral Nelson, a towering figure in naval history. Backed by the government of Gibraltar, the coin is minted with a gold purity of 0.9167, containing 0.4711 troy ounces of precious metal, and is finished in a striking proof quality. The design elements present a compelling contrast between two historic figures. On one side, the coin features the likeness of Admiral Nelson, positioned before a sailing ship embarking on its journey. This side also incorporates the denomination of fifty pounds and the commemorative dates spanning from 1758 to 1805. The opposite side features the elegant effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, surrounded by the inscription denoting the issuing authority of Gibraltar and the year 1980.
