Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design depicting Lord Horatio Nelson's dying moment during the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805. The design is based on a famous painting by Arthur William Devis, which has become an iconic image of Nelson's heroism and sacrifice. The coin's design is therefore not only aesthetically pleasing but also historically significant, making it a valuable collector's item for numismatists and history enthusiasts alike.
