2023 直布罗陀正义女神号

In the hallowed halls of courts and legal chambers around the world, a timeless figure stands, her presence a testament to the ideals of fairness and balance that underpin the legal system. Lady Justice, often depicted blindfolded, holding a balance scale and a sword, is a universal icon that transcends borders and cultures.

The origins of Lady Justice trace back to ancient civilizations, where the concept of justice was intrinsically linked to the goddesses of truth and virtue. Over the centuries, she has evolved into a powerful symbol of the moral compass guiding legal proceedings. The blindfold represents impartiality, signifying that justice should be blind to bias and prejudice. The balance scale denotes the careful weighing of evidence, ensuring that decisions are based on facts and reason. The sword, often seen as a double-edged blade, symbolizes the authority to enforce law and order.

The obverse of each coin features a classic engraving of Lady Justice, blindfolded and holding a sword in her right hand, and scales in her left. The Latin phrase "fides et justitia" accompanies the artwork. The reverse bears the Gibraltar Coat of Arms (beautiful artwork in its own right) as well as weight, purity, content, and denomination value.
