Issued to mark the bicentenary of the Battle of Trafalgar — though two years late, as the anniversary fell in 2005 — this Cook Islands dollar belongs to a wave of commemorative issues that flooded the market following HMS Victory's high-profile restoration campaigns in the early 2000s. "The Nelson Touch" refers to Nelson's tactical decision to attack the Franco-Spanish line in two columns rather than the conventional parallel engagement, a plan he outlined to his captains on 29 September 1805 in what became known as the Trafalgar Memorandum.
