| Reverse description | A three-quarter left-facing portrait bust of Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother, depicted wearing a pearl necklace and a decorative tiara, her likeness rendered in fine detail. The commemorative birth year '1900' appears to the left of the effigy and the anniversary year '1990' to the right, flanking the portrait within an inner circle. The curved legend 'QUEEN ELIZABETH · THE QUEEN MOTHER' arcs around the upper periphery, while the denomination '1 CROWN' is inscribed along the lower border, all within a beaded inner border. |

| Additional information |
Issued to mark the Queen Mother's 90th birthday, this piece belongs to a period when Gibraltar was producing commemorative crowns at a pace that tested collector patience — the territory released dozens of such issues through the late 1980s and 1990s, largely targeting the British souvenir and collector market rather than circulation. KM#46 is copper-nickel, though a silver proof version was struck simultaneously for the same event.
