The Landmarks of Britain Series was an ambitious four-coin series that whittled down the many architectural wonders of British society to select four images known to cultures and people around the world. Making the cut for this series were the following landmarks, in order of issue: Big Ben, Tower Bridge, Trafalgar Square, and Buckingham Palace. Each release in this series has a limited mintage of just 50,000 silver coins.

This particular crown was commissioned by King George IV shortly after he ascended the throne in 1820. It features 1,333 diamonds with a total weight of more than 300 karats.

Reverse

The reverse field of the 2018 British Trafalgar Square 1 oz Silver Coin gives you a glimpse of the column with a statue of Admiral Horatio Nelson from the vantage point of the guardian lions positioned within the square.

History

The Battle of Trafalgar was a decisive one that took place off the Cape of Trafalgar and involved the British Royal Navy confronting a combined force of French and Spanish naval vessels.
