The Battle of Trafalgar was the most significant naval battle of the Napoleonic Wars and the pivotal naval battle of the 19th century. A Royal Navy fleet of 27 ships of the line destroyed an allied French and Spanish fleet of 33 ships of the line west of Cape Trafalgar in south-west Spain. The French and Spanish lost 22 ships, the British, none. The British commander Admiral Lord Nelson died late in the battle, brought down on the deck of his flagship "HMS Victory" by a French sharpshooter, but had ensured his place as Britain's greatest naval hero. This world coin from the tiny and remote UK territory of Tristan da Cunha (pop. 300!) was struck with a very good bust of Lord Nelson to honor the 200th anniversary of that great battle that sealed his fate in the annuls of history. It would make a great addition to any world coin collection with a spot for as illustrious a man as Lord Horatio Nelson.
