Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design that commemorates the 200th anniversary of the birth of Lord Horatio Nelson, a British naval officer who is best known for his victory against the French and Spanish fleets at the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805. The coin's design depicts Nelson raising the Union Jack flag on the mast of his ship, the HMS Victory, and is a nod to his bravery and leadership during the battle.
