The Admiral Lord Nelson 265^th Anniversary 24-carat Gold Layered Coin

Strictly limited and expertly layered in pure 24-carat Fairmined gold, this coin pays homage to the man who shaped the history of the nation like no other, Admiral Lord Nelson.

This one crown legal tender coin depicts a half-length portrait depicting Horatio Nelson, 1758-1805, facing forward with his head turned to the left. He wears a rear-admiral's uniform with gold epaulettes and on his hat the distinctive diamond chelengk given to him by the Sultan of Turkey. On his jacket he wears the star of a Knight of the Bath together with the Neapolitan Order of Saint Ferdinand and Merit, and the Turkish Order of the Crescent. His empty right sleeve is pinned across the front of his coat, a reminder that he lost his right arm in July 1797.
