How many pence are in a Gibralter Royal, first minted in 1991?

I don't think the Royal is a monetary unit but rather the name of the bullion coinage series.

1 Royal is 1 ounce
1/2 Royal is 1/2 ounce

The Angel, Noble and Royal denominations may have been based on old UK denominations. The Royal may have been from the Ryal. Here is a list of some old UK gold denominations:

Triple Unite (60s)
Unite Laurel Pound (20s)
Rose Ryal (22s)
Spur Ryal (16s6d)
Half Laurel (10s) (gold and silver)
Angel (6s8d)
Crown (5s)
Half Angel (3s4d)
Half Crown (2s6d) (gold and silver)
