2017 Niue 1 Ounce $2 Silver Battle of Waterloo Antiqued Coin

Who Really Won the Battle of Waterloo?

Quick – name the commander who led the British to victory in the Battle of Waterloo. If you said Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington, you have our respect! Most only remember this as the day Napoleon Bonaparte suffered his great defeat, and fail to remember the man who led the opposing army to victory in 1815. Now you can remember Wellesley for all time as part of the Battles that Changed History series!

Struck in a full ounce of 99.9% silver, this colorized, antiqued legal-tender $2 coin displays the Duke of Wellington before a scene of battle. Known as the master of defensive warfare, Wellington’s tactics led to several major victories during his career against numerically superior forces while minimizing casualties to his own army. He put those tactics to use as he led the coalition forces that defeated Napoleon near Waterloo in present-day Belgium and brought an end to Napoleon’s final attempt at European dominance after just 90 days in power.

Just 5,000 of these magnificent coins were struck – far too few for the history buffs and Napoleon enthusiasts who would like a piece of this release, let alone coin collectors who are eager to own one. Get yours before the battle is already lost!
