In 2015 to commemorate the 200th Anniversary of the Battle of Waterloo, the Royal Mint released a very Limited Issue Battle of Waterloo £5 Five Pound Silver Proof Coin struck in solid .925 Sterling Silver.
The reverse designed by David Lawrence captures the handshake between a triumphant Wellington and Blücher, the spirit of camaraderie, while the obverse is the stunning effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Ian Rank Broadley.
These legal tender coins have been struck to proof quality using specially prepared dies and highly polished blanks.
