Silver Ounce 2023 Lady Justice, Coin from Gibraltar - detailed information

The obverse of the coin displays at its centre the Coat of Arms of the Government of Gibraltar. It incorporates the Royal Arms of the United Kingdom, being a shield which is quartered, depicting in the first and fourth quarters the three passant guardant lions of England; in the second, the rampant lion and double tressure flory-counterflory of Scotland; and in the third, a harp for Ireland. The crest is a statant guardant lion wearing St Edward's Crown, himself on another representation of that crown standing on a knight's helmet. The sinister (left) supporter is a likewise crowned English lion; the dexter (right), a Scottish unicorn.

The motto of English monarchs, DIEU ET MON DROIT (God and my Right), which has descended to the present royal family, is in a ribbon below, while a Garter circlet which surrounds the shield is inscribed with the Order of the Garter's motto, HONI SOIT QUI MAL Y PENSE (from old French: Shame on he who thinks evil), partly obscured by the supporters.

Below the lower ribbon, the badge of Gibraltar - an escutcheon featuring a three-towered castle under which hangs a key.

Around above, the name of the territory: GIBRALTAR. Divided by the lion above the crown, the date of issue 2023. Around left and around right, the precious metal content: 1 TROY OUNCE 999 FINE SILVER. Around below, the nominal face value 1 POUND.

The reverse of the coin features a classic engraving of Lady Justice, blindfolded and holding a sword in her right hand, and scales in her left.

Around above, the inscription JUSTICE. To the left of the female figure, the Latin motto FIDES ET JUSTITIA (Faith and justice). On the right, the date of issue 2023.

In the background, mountains.
