Similar to KM#1279Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it commemorates the 200th anniversary of the Battle of Cape St. Vincent, which took place on February 14, 1797, during the French Revolutionary Wars. The battle was a significant naval victory for the British Royal Navy, led by Admiral John Jervis, and marked the beginning of a series of successful naval campaigns against the French and Spanish fleets. The coin's design features an image of Queen Elizabeth II on one side and a depiction of the HMS Victory, the flagship of Admiral Jervis, on the other side.
