10 Dollars Destruction of the Spanish Fleet - 1588

Liberia has issued commemorative coinage tied to virtually every major naval engagement in Western history, and this piece falls squarely in that production run.

Philip II reportedly responded to the news with the remark that he had sent his fleet against men, not the winds and waves.
