This token commemorates Nelson defeating the Napoleonic forces on HMS Victory at the battle of Trafalgar on the 21st October 1805. At his victorious battle, Lord Admiral Nelson was shot by a French Musketeer and subsequently died of his injuries on board HMS Victory. This coin commemorates this decisive battle.
The details are as follows:

Type of coin/token: Half penny

Date: 1812 (7 years after the Battle of Trafalgar)

Theme: Historic: Nelson and the Battle of Trafalgar

Condition: aF (almost Fine)
Condition report

The token is in overall good order for its 208 year age with the date still legible - the detail of HMS Victory is still evident and some strands of Nelson’s hair is still visible as well as the detail of his uniform still present, please see the photos for details. Unfortunately there are multiple knocks round the coin, see photos, but otherwise a good, clean example.
This would be a great addition to your coin collection and a great piece for a collector of historical military artefacts, and would make a thoughtful gift too for a military history enthusiast.
