Comment

The Bismarck was the first Bismarck-class battleship built for the Kriegsmarine under Nazi Germany. Named after German Chancellor Otto von Bismarck, who was one of the architects of German unification in the 19th century, she was, along with her sister ship Tirpitz, the largest warship used by Germany.

Interesting fact

The 1 Dollar - Elizabeth II (Bismarck) 2018 coin from Tuvalu made of Silver plated copper-nickel is interesting because it features a unique design that showcases the portrait of Queen Elizabeth II on one side and a representation of the German battleship Bismarck on the other. This coin is a commemoration of the 75th anniversary of the Battle of the Denmark Strait, where the Bismarck was sunk during World War II. The coin's unique design and historical significance make it a valuable collector's item for those interested in numismatics and military history.
