Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it commemorates the 200th anniversary of the Battle of Leipzig, which was a decisive battle in the Napoleonic Wars. The battle took place in October 1813 and was a significant turning point in the war, as it marked the beginning of the end of Napoleon's rule over Europe. The coin's design features an image of Elizabeth II, as well as an image of the Battle of Leipzig, and the inscription "Battle of Leipzig 1813-2013" on the reverse side.
