Context
The design of the reverse of this coin is described as ' Queen Elizabeth I with Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester at the kill of a deer with horse and hunting servants in the background ' in the Second supplement to the Gibraltar Gazette, number 3339 of 2 May 2003 . However, the original engraving by George Gascoigne from 1575, illustrating the chapter ' An advertisement by the Translator of the English manner, in breaking up of the Deare ” in the book ' The Noble Art of Venerie or Hunting ' makes no reference to Robert Dudley. Gascoigne rather represents himself as the guide of the hunt, explaining the unique English custom in which the leader of the hunt tests the quality of the venison by cutting into the animal and measuring the thickness of its fat.
