Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Admiral Horatio Lord Nelson 5 Pound coin from Guernsey is that it features a unique design that commemorates the 200th anniversary of Nelson's victory at the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805. The coin's design depicts an image of Lord Nelson on the obverse side, while the reverse side features a scene of the HMS Victory, the ship on which Nelson served during the battle. The coin's design is the work of sculptor and engraver, Ian Rank-Broadley, who is known for his work on various coins and medals.
