Aanvullende informatie

Issued to mark the bicentenary of Wellington's most formative early campaigns, this Guernsey crown-sized piece appeared two years before the 200th anniversary of Trafalgar prompted a flood of competing commemoratives from British Crown Dependencies. Wellington himself had Irish connections exploited throughout his career — he famously and sourly denied the relevance of his Dublín birthplace — but Guernsey's claim to him rests purely on the commemorative licensing arrangements common to the island's prolific 2000s collector program rather than any biographical link.
