Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Crown - Elizabeth II (Lord Nelson) 2005 coin from Tristan da Cunha is that it features a unique design that commemorates the 200th anniversary of the Battle of Trafalgar, which took place on October 21, 1805. The coin's design depicts an image of Lord Nelson, the British naval commander who led the British fleet to victory in the battle, along with a representation of the HMS Victory, the ship on which he served. The coin's design is particularly notable because it was created by the renowned British sculptor and engraver, Ian Rank-Broadley, who is known for his work on various coins and medals.
