Where & when
What's on the note
Front: Queen Elizabeth II (b. 1926, reigned 1952–2022), longest-reigning British monarch and Head of State of Gibraltar throughout its development as a British Overseas Territory. The note features her effigy alongside the Rock of Gibraltar and the coat of arms of Gibraltar (displaying a three-towered red castle with golden key, with motto 'MONTIS INSIGNIA CALPE'). This design was used on Gibraltar's first locally-issued currency notes authorized under the Currency Note Ordinance Cap 38.
Back: The Convent, official residence of the Governor of Gibraltar, located on Main Street in Gibraltar. Originally built as a Franciscan convent in 1531, it has served as the Governor's residence since 1728 and is one of Gibraltar's most important historical buildings, combining Moorish, Spanish, and British architectural elements.

Background & history
This note belongs to the 1975 series, the first issue of Gibraltar pound notes by the Government of Gibraltar following the Currency Note Ordinance. It was issued on 15 September 1975 as indicated on the note and circulated until being replaced by the 1988 series. The notes were printed by Thomas De La Rue and featured Queen Elizabeth II's portrait, establishing the design template that would continue in subsequent Gibraltar currency issues. This series represented Gibraltar's transition to locally-managed currency distinct from Bank of England notes.
