Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Crown - Elizabeth II (Letters of Nelson) 2005 from Gibraltar (British Overseas Territories) coin is that it features a unique design that commemorates the 200th anniversary of the Battle of Trafalgar, a significant naval victory for the British Navy during the Napoleonic Wars. The coin's design includes an image of Lord Horatio Nelson, the British admiral who led the British fleet to victory, and a depiction of the HMS Victory, the ship on which Nelson served. The coin's design is particularly notable because it includes a rare error: the letters "N" and "L" in the word "Nelson" are reversed, creating a typo that has become highly sought after by collectors. As a result, this coin has become a prized collector's item, with some mint-condition coins selling for thousands of dollars.
