2011 Gibraltar £1 need help.

Has anyone got one ?

I have just got a 2012 issue which says Elizabeth II queen of Gibraltar. Now normally as shown on the catalogue page it's just Elizabeth II Gibraltar. I want to know if its been re-designed for 2012 ?
I rather like how it says queen of it feels a lot more regal :)
I'm sure it does.  Check this one out: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces28085.html
"What we are is not as important as what we aren't"
So maybe the catalogue needs adjusting then ? It could even be 2010 that it started saying "queen of" which makes it 2 years out :)
Might be different years for different denominations.  The one I linked to was a 5 pound coin.

  Still not sure about £1 coin but that confirms starting 2010 £5 wording.  :)

  A picture of the 2012 Gibraltar 9-coin set shows all in there have the new wording.
On that site the same applies to the 2011 and 2010 sets as well. Maybe the catalogues do need changing and a new KM number as well then.

  "The design of the coins authorised by this notice shall be as follows –
(a) the coins shall bear on the obverse impression the effigy of Her
Majesty Queen Elizabeth II with the inscription “ELIZABETH II” to the left and the
inscription “QUEEN OF GIBRALTAR” to the right and the date below;"

 The £5 coin with the new wording: "This issue caused controversy in Spain. The title of King
of Gibraltar historically corresponds to the crown of Castile and not to England."

Interesting !

I think that is probably why they have out queen of gib on the coins as they don't particularly like the espaniards !
Hi!

Have a look ;)

I had a feeling they would have just changed it for 2012 since it was her Jubilee !
