Mmmmmmmm I wonder

Why did they sometimes put the portrait of monarch on the coins and sometimes not? strange

I will definitely buy this set because of my naval history

I've heard that it all depends on how fast they want to print the coin. Matching a coin with a portrait takes much longer, since it must be agreed with the monarch. Coins with the coat of arms of the Government of Gibraltar do not require such approval, so they can be issued more quickly.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH, SEEMS REASONABLE
