In 1986 to commemorate Napoleon Bonaparte, the Royal Mint released a very Limited Issue £25 Twenty Five Pound Silver Proof Coin struck in solid fine .999 Silver and weighing five ounces of pure Silver on behalf of St Helena and the Ascension Islands.
The reverse design features a detailed representation of Napoleon Bonaparte gazing out at sea at HMS Northumberland, the ship that conveyed him to exile on the island of St Helena.
The obverse has the stunning portrait of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Raphael Maklouf.
These legal tender coins have been struck to proof quality using specially prepared dies and highly polished blanks.
