Gibraltar 1 crown We Will Remember Them Christmas Truce PR69 PCGS silver 2018

The 2018 Gibraltar 1 Crown “We Will Remember Them” silver proof coin is a deeply moving commemorative dedicated to the famous Christmas Truce of 1914 during World War I. This remarkable issue honors one of the most human moments in wartime history, when opposing soldiers temporarily laid down their weapons and shared gestures of peace along the trenches of the Western Front. The coin captures the spirit of remembrance, reconciliation, and shared humanity that continues to resonate more than a century later.

The reverse design features two gilded soldiers in detailed military uniforms and caps, standing face to face while shaking hands in a symbolic act of peace. Between them appears a smaller scene of soldiers playing football, referencing the legendary matches said to have occurred during the truce. The mirrored proof background enhances the golden selective gilding of the figures, creating a striking visual contrast. The inscriptions “WE WILL REMEMBER THEM,” “1914,” and “1918” frame the composition, connecting the emotional scene to the years of the First World War. Fine details of coats, collars, buttons, facial expressions, and military attire add realism and historical atmosphere.

The obverse displays the elegant effigy of Queen Elizabeth II wearing the royal crown and earrings, surrounded by the inscriptions “ELIZABETH II,” “D·G·REGINA,” “GIBRALTAR,” “2018,” and “ONE CROWN.” The flawless proof finish gives the coin brilliant reflective fields and frosted reliefs. Struck in silver and certified PCGS PR69, this commemorative is an exceptional collectible for enthusiasts of military history, WWI memorabilia, remembrance themes, and modern world crown coinage.
