Coin description
The reverse features a stunning high definition color image of the Pirate Queen in traditional Día de los Muertos style. Wearing an elegant pirate outfit decorated with intricate embroidery, jewelry and floral details, she confidently holds an ornate pistol while overlooking a harbor at dusk. Her beautifully painted sugar skull makeup and richly decorated pirate hat perfectly blend adventure with remembrance. Surrounding the design is the distinctive decorative border that appears throughout the series, while the inscription “DIA DE LOS MUERTOS” is incorporated at the bottom.
The obverse features the official Coat of Arms of Gibraltar, surrounded by an intricate collection of symbols associated with Día de los Muertos, including skulls, skeletons, flowers, candles, coffins, ravens, hourglasses, and other iconic elements connected with remembrance and the celebration of life. The inscriptions include “GIBRALTAR”, “2026”, “1 POUND”, and “ONE TROY OUNCE .9999 FINE SILVER”, highlighting the coin’s status as legal tender struck from the highest purity silver.
Background information
Día de los Muertos, or the Day of the Dead, is one of Mexico’s most celebrated cultural traditions, honoring family members and friends who have passed away. Rather than mourning death, the celebration embraces it as a natural part of life’s journey, bringing families together to remember loved ones with music, flowers, candles, food, and colorful decorations.
The instantly recognizable sugar skull artwork, vibrant marigold flowers, and beautifully decorated faces have become worldwide symbols of remembrance, celebrating both life and legacy. Blending ancient traditions with modern artistic expression, Día de los Muertos continues to inspire artists around the globe. The PopCoins® series captures this unique spirit by combining spectacular contemporary artwork with one of the world’s most meaningful cultural celebrations.
