ARCHIVE FIND: UK 2015 The Battle of Waterloo Silver Proof £5 Coin

A rare opportunity to own an official Royal Mint tribute to one of Britain's greatest military victories

Issued by The Royal Mint in 2015 to commemorate the 200th Anniversary of the Battle of Waterloo, this Silver Proof £5 coin celebrates the battle that ended Napoleon's reign and changed the course of European history.

Designed by David Lawrence, the reverse depicts the historic meeting between the Duke of Wellington and Prussian Field Marshal Blücher following their victory at Waterloo, while the edge inscription features Wellington's famous remark: "THE NEAREST RUN THING YOU EVER SAW."

Why you need one for your collection:

• Commemorates the 200th Anniversary of the Battle of Waterloo
• Struck in Sterling Silver to a stunning Proof finish
• Features the historic Wellington and Blücher design
• Edge inscription includes Wellington's famous quote
• Presented in official Royal Mint packaging with Certificate of Authenticity
• Strictly limited edition of just 3,000 worldwide

With only a limited number originally issued and far fewer available today, this is an increasingly difficult Royal Mint Silver Proof £5 coin to secure in complete original presentation.
