Gibraltar's 2011 paper series arrived just as De La Rue was pushing most small-territory clients toward polymer substrates — Gibraltar held on to cotton-rag paper for this issue, an increasingly unusual choice by that point. The Moorish Castle denomination sits at the top of the circulating series, and the notes saw genuine everyday use rather than being pulled quickly for collector sets.
Colour-shifting ink on a De La Rue small-territory note of this period is worth noting — it was not a given at this print run scale, and its inclusion reflects the UK government's direct oversight of Gibraltar's currency security specifications.
