Interesting fact
The interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design, showcasing a naval ship sailing to the right, which is not a common motif on coins. This design was specifically chosen to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the Battle of Trafalgar, which took place in 1805 and was a significant naval victory for the British Royal Navy.
