The British overseas territory of Gibraltar has its own currency, the Gibraltar pound, which is pegged with the Pound sterling at par. As a consequence, the Government of Gibraltar mints its own coins. The coins are made with the same planchets as the UK pound

The £2 coin has featured a new design every year since its introduction, as it depicts each of the 12 Labours of Hercules.

In 2004 the Government of Gibraltar minted a new edition of its coins to commemorate the tercentenary of British Gibraltar (1704-2004).
