Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it commemorates the 200th anniversary of the Battle of Grand Port, which was a significant naval battle fought between the British and the French during the Napoleonic Wars. The battle took place on August 20, 1810, and was a decisive victory for the British, who were able to capture the French island of Mauritius. The coin's design features an image of Queen Elizabeth II on one side and a depiction of the battle on the other.
