The obverse displays the elegant right-facing portrait of Queen Elizabeth II wearing a detailed royal crown, drop earrings, and a pearl necklace. The inscriptions “ELIZABETH II” and “GIBRALTAR 1992” encircle the royal effigy, while the finely engraved hair and frosted portrait relief contrast beautifully against the specimen-finished fields.
