Description

Also known as the "Sunshine Games", the Island Games are held every 2 years, thousands of athletes come together from across the globe to take part in a range of sporting events, from archery to windsurf. 

This friendship between the islands was symbolised in a ceremony in which athletes, carrying the flags of their islands, brought water to a central fountain. 

In 1995, it was Gibraltars turn to host the games, in celebration of the occasion, two commemorative coins were issued depicting various athletes taking part in a number of events.
