Interesting fact

The design of the coin was created by sculptor and engraver, Ian Rank-Broadley, and it shows Nelson standing on the deck of his ship, the HMS Victory, with a telescope in his hand, looking out towards the horizon. The coin's design is surrounded by a wreath of laurel leaves, symbolizing victory and honor.
