320th Anniversary of British Gibraltar - Limited Edition - Coin Card

On 4 August 1704, Admiral Sir George Rooke led an Anglo-Dutch fleet to capture Gibraltar during the War of the Spanish Succession. This pivotal event initiated British control over Gibraltar, formalized by the Treaty of Utrecht in 1713, which ceded the territory from Spain to Britain in perpetuity.

In 2024, Gibraltar celebrates 320 years under British sovereignty. This long history underscores Gibraltar's strategic importance and its evolution into a distinctive community with a unique cultural and national identity.

This resilience is a cornerstone of Gibraltar's modern character, blending historical roots with contemporary advancements.

In 2024, Gibraltar stands as a testament to 320 years of strategic significance, cultural diversity, and resilient identity under British sovereignty.
