&####128293; FIRST-YEAR LADY JUSTICE – ANTIQUE FINISH – ONLY 5,000 STRUCK &####128293. This coin is not. You’re looking at the scarce antique 2021 Gibraltar Lady Justice 1 oz silver coin – the first issue in Scottsdale Mint’s Lady Justice series, and the version collectors eon’t have yet ;- Not the 50,000-piece BU. This is the 5,000-mintage antique with the darkened fields and raised silver relief that make her look like she stepped off a courthouse pediment. Lady Justice on a legal-tender Gibraltar pound. Seven stars under her feet. Latin motto cut into the field: FIDES ET JUSTITIA – Faith and Justice. This is not a generic bullion round. 999 fine silver by Scottsdale Mint in Arizona. Antique finish that photographs like an old medal and still stacks like bullion. The figure isn’t standing still – she’s striding forward with the sword up. Dealers called it an “avenging angel” take on Justitia. That’s why this design stuck and the series is still running years later. Lady Justice comes from the Roman goddess Justitia. Her image has been on coinage since around 100 AD. Blindfold – justice without favor. Scales – evidence weighed, not assumed. Sword – the verdict has teeth. The seven stars at her feet are widely described as the seven municipalities of Campo de Gibraltar, the Spanish region that neighbors the Rock. The other side is Gibraltar’s full coat of arms: the Royal Arms of the United Kingdom (lion and unicorn) over Gibraltar’s castle-and-key badge. Issued while Elizabeth II was still monarch. Legal tender in Gibraltar. &####127912; WHO MADE IT – AND WHY. Struck and issued by Scottsdale Mint (Scottsdale, Arizona) for the Government of Gibraltar. No single named sculptor was published – this is a house design from Scottsdale, launched in 2021 as a new series dedicated to impartial justice in gold and silver. Why it exists: Scottsdale wanted a bullion coin with a classical allegory instead of another generic eagle or lion. They launched four products that year – 1 oz silver BU (50,000), 1 oz silver antique (5,000), 1 oz gold (1,000), and 1/10 oz gold (1,000). You have the silver antique. That’s the collector cut. Year: 2021 (first year of series). Denomination: 1 Pound legal tender. Weight: 1 troy ounce (31.1 g). Finish: Antique (darkened fields, bright devices). Mintage: 5,000 antique. Mint: Scottsdale Mint, USA. Obverse: Gibraltar coat of arms, 2021, 1 TROY OUNCE, 999 FINE SILVER, 1 POUND. Reverse: Lady Justice, JUSTICE, FIDES ET JUSTITIA, 2021, seven stars. This is real silver. Not a medal pretending to be a coin. One full ounce of. Photos are of the actual coin. Antique finish is applied at the mint – tone and contrast can vary slightly coin to coin. That’s normal for this issue. Look at the photos and judge for yourself. Packed so it doesn’t rattle or get marked in transit. &####127978; MORE IN THE SHOP.
