200 ANNIVERSARY OF HORATIO NELSON AND THE BATTLE OF TRAFALGAR
This (2) £5 coins set is enclosed within a First Day Cover, issued by the Royal Mint in original package, and in pristine condition.
The bi centenary celebrations taking place in 2005 bear witness to the hold that Nelson still has on the British imagination. In the two hundred years since his death, his memory has been regularly invoked in order to bolster national morale or support various political points of view. Nowhere is his legacy more cherished than the Royal Navy. Every Trafalgar Day at dinners across the globe the toast is to 'The Immortal Memory'.
