The Battle of Trafalgar was fought on 21 October 1805 between the British Royal Navy and the combined fleets of the French and Spanish Navy. It is considered to be the most decisive British Naval victory ( under command of Nelson) of the Napoleonic Wars (1803–1815).
Following Nelson’s famous victory, Boulton had minted special medal at Soho mint for all the Sailors and Marines who served in the battle. Heinrich Kuchler, designed this medal with the portrait of Nelson on obvers and the battle scene on the reverse of the medal.
