| Beschrijving keerzijde | Three-quarter length portrait of Vice-Admiral Cuthbert Collingwood in full naval dress uniform, his right hand raised to his chin in a contemplative pose, set against a radiating compass rose design with alternating long and short points filling the field. A coiled rope motif borders the lower portion of the design. The commemorative dates '1805' and '2005' flank the word 'TRAFALGAR' along the upper arc, marking the bicentenary of the Battle of Trafalgar, while the denomination 'ONE CROWN' is inscribed along the lower rim. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Collingwood commanded the lee column at Trafalgar on 21 October 1805, and when Nelson fell early in the engagement, effective tactical command passed to him. He never left his post — famously, he had walked the Trafalgar ground years before the battle with Nelson, the two of them kicking away the acorns so that oak trees would grow there to build future warships. Gibraltar issued this piece for the battle's bicentenary, one of dozens of commemoratives flooding the market that year from various territories.
