The Gibraltar annual set of 1998 features two significant commemorative coins. The first is a member of the incredibly collectable Twelve Labours of Hercules set, depicting the Strait of Gibraltar's creator doing battle with the Lernaean Hydra. Joining the Lernaen Hydra £2 is the 40th Anniversary of Radio Gibraltar £5, struck in collaboration between the Pobjoy Mint and the Commonwealth Broadcasting Association. The remaining seven coins, arranged in the included display folder, are included with your 1998-dated Gibraltar set, which is also the first set to bear Elizabeth II's coinage portrait by Ian Rank-Broadley. Here is a great opportunity to build your collection and add Hercules' second labour to your gathering!

1998 Gibraltar Coin Designs

After dispatching the Nemean Lion, Hercules turned his efforts to the Lernaean Hydra. And his legendary effort, one of twelve in the collectable run, is depicted on this set's £2 coin. The Lernaean Hydra £2 is joined by seven definitive coins and the celebratory 40th Anniversary of Radio Gibraltar £5.

Pobjoy Mint Gibraltar Coins

The Pobjoy Mint was commissioned by the Government of Gibraltar to lead the way in striking its new coins. The Twelve Labours of Hercules series proved particularly collectable and was reissued in 2020. The Lernaean Hydra edition in this 1998 set is from the original run and is a sought-after piece of Gibraltar and the Pobjoy Mint's coinage history. Only four of the Labours of Hercules £2 were available in BU annual sets such as this one.

Pre-Owned BU Gibraltar Set

We include the original Pobjoy Mint display folder, complete with the sleeve, with your 1998 Gibraltar coin set. These are pre-owned coins struck to a brilliant uncirculated standard by the British Pobjoy Mint.
