Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it commemorates the 200th anniversary of the Battle of Trafalgar, a naval engagement fought between the British Royal Navy and the combined fleets of the French and Spanish navies during the Napoleonic Wars. The coin's design features an image of HMS Victory, the flagship of Vice-Admiral Horatio Nelson, who led the British fleet to victory in the battle. The coin's mintage was limited to 10,000 pieces, making it a rare and collectible item for numismatists and history enthusiasts.
