| Additional information |
HMS Victory, launched at Chatham in 1765, spent nearly two decades in ordinary — laid up and largely forgotten — before the outbreak of war with Revolutionary France brought her back into service. She was already 40 years old at Trafalgar in 1805. Jersey's geographic position in the English Channel gives the island a plausible claim to Nelsonian commemoration, though the connection is administrative rather than historical.
The selective gold plating on issues of this type is applied post-strike, a finishing technique that became commercially standard for premium collector pieces in the early 2000s.
