Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the Battle of Waterloo, which took place on June 18, 1815. The Battle of Waterloo was a significant military engagement in which British forces led by the Duke of Wellington and French forces led by Napoleon Bonaparte clashed, ultimately resulting in the defeat of Napoleon and the end of the Napoleonic Wars. The coin's design features an image of Queen Elizabeth II on one side and a depiction of the Battle of Waterloo on the other.
