The Duke of Wellington

When the Duke of Wellington died at Walmer Castle in September 1852 he was perhaps, after Queen Victoria, the best known person in Britain. His reputation had been assured by his victory over Napoleon at the Battle of Waterloo in June 1815. It was, he admitted himself, a close call; but the victory not only marked the end of Napoleon's military adventures but brought peace to Europe for the next hundred years. After Waterloo, the Duke entered politics and even served as Prime Minister between 1828 and 1830. his stature was such that even his political opponents respected him and no controversy could diminish his reputation. Queen Victoria spoke for the nation when she sadly reflected after his death: "To think that all of this is gone; and that this great and immortal man belongs now to history". 2002 sees the 150th anniversary of the death of this great military leader and statesman. to commemorate his life each of the three main Channel Islands has authorised the Royal Mint to produce a limited number of collector coins in gold and silver.
