| Aanvullende informatie |
This piece was issued to mark the bicentenary of Trafalgar — delayed three years from the battle's actual 1805 anniversary, likely to align with a broader commemorative program. Nelson died aboard HMS Victory at approximately 4:30 p.m. on 21 October 1805, struck by a musket ball fired from the mizzen top of the French ship Redoutable at a range of roughly 15 meters. He lived long enough to learn the French and Spanish fleets had been defeated.
At 155.55 grams of .9999 fine gold, this is a five-troy-ounce piece — a format reserved for flagship issues in most Commonwealth commemorative programs.
