Comment
HMS Victory is the world’s oldest naval ship still in commission. Having never been officially decommissioned, it’s now in its 245th year of service.
She has been in dry dock for 100 years, but is the flagship of the First Sea Lord, the military head of the Royal Navy.
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique selective gold plating on the design of HMS Victory, which gives the appearance of the ship's sails being in full sail. This adds an extra layer of depth and detail to the coin's design, making it a standout piece for collectors.
