2022 Gibraltar £5 1-oz Platinum Castle Reverse Proof

Make Gibraltar’s Moorish Castle The Rock Of Your Collection

At the southern tip of Spain lies the British Overseas Territory of Gibraltar, a small strategic patch of land that overlooks the passageway from the Mediterranean to the Atlantic Ocean. The most dominant feature of this small territory that encompasses just 2.5 square miles is the Rock of Gibraltar, a 1,400-foot-high greyish-white limestone cliff that has attracted tourists and photographers for generations. The all-too-familiar monolithic limestone promontory isn’t the only attraction visitors are drawn to in Gibraltar. The centuries-old Moorish Castle located in the heart of Gibraltar stands as a silent-yet-vivid reminder of how the land has changed hands many times through centuries of conflict.

The Rich History Of Gibraltar’s Moorish Castle

That rich history is on full display in this bullion coin from Gibraltar that features a depiction of the famous Moorish Castle in a full ounce of 99.95% pure platinum! Construction on the Moorish Castle was begun by the Moors in the 8th Century. The Moors were Muslims who lived in the southern regions of Spain and the Iberian Peninsula. They were driven out in 1492 — the same year King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella of Spain backed Christopher Columbus on his voyage to the New World. The territory was ceded to Great Britain in 1713 and has been a vital base of operations ever since. The most conspicuous remaining part of the Moorish Castle is the Tower of Homage, whose walls and battlements form not only the design on this coin but are part of Gibraltar’s Coat of Arms that can be seen on the coin’s obverse.

Reverse Proof Finish Makes For A Stunning Bullion Coin

This legal tender £5 (5 pounds) coin is also unique for its unique Reverse Proof finish. The opposite of a regular proof coin that features frosted details rising over mirror-like fields, this coin was expertly crafted from hand-selected planchets, polished dies and multiple strikes to produce mirror-like details rising over beautifully frosted fields! The dazzling effect is stunning, making this coin unique among other world bullion coin releases.

This new bullion coin in reverse proof finish is as timeless as Gibraltar itself. Order one of these 2022 Gibraltar £5 One-Ounce Platinum Castle Coins and make it the rock of your collection!
