NAPOLEONIC WARS
TWENTY FIVE PENCE
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it commemorates the 200th anniversary of the Battle of San Domingo, which took place on February 6, 1806, during the Napoleonic Wars. The battle was a significant naval victory for the British, led by Vice-Admiral John Duckworth, and marked the beginning of the end of French control over the Caribbean island of San Domingo (present-day Haiti). The coin's design features an image of Queen Elizabeth II on one side and a depiction of the battle on the other.
