| Additional information |
Gebhard Leberecht von Blücher's reputation rests almost entirely on timing — his Prussian forces arrived at Waterloo on the evening of 18 June 1815 after a punishing forced march from Wavre, having been defeated and personally unhorsed at Ligny just two days earlier. Wellington had held, barely. Without that march, the outcome is genuinely debatable. The coin's 2015 date marks the bicentenary of the campaign.
