Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it commemorates the 200th anniversary of the Battle of Copenhagen, which took place on April 2, 1801, during the Napoleonic Wars. The battle was a significant naval victory for the British Navy, and it marked the beginning of the Danish-Norwegian union's involvement in the wars. The coin's design features an image of Queen Elizabeth II on one side and a depiction of the HMS Elephant, a British warship that played a key role in the battle, on the other side.
