Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it commemorates the 200th anniversary of the Battle of Trafalgar, where Lord Horatio Nelson was fatally wounded while leading the British Navy to victory over the French and Spanish fleets on October 21, 1805. The coin's design features a depiction of Lord Nelson's funeral procession, which took place on January 9, 1806, and includes an effigy of Nelson lying in state on a black-draped bier, surrounded by mourners and naval officers. The coin's obverse features a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II.
