Issued to mark the 220th anniversary of the Battle of Trafalgar, this piece commemorates the engagement fought on 21 October 1805 in which the combined Franco-Spanish fleet was decisively defeated by the Royal Navy under Nelson — who did not survive to learn the outcome. The Solomon Islands has no historical connection to either Trafalgar or the British Crown's naval history; its name appears here purely as a licensing arrangement, a common mechanism for souvenir medallions seeking nominal legal-tender status.
