The Battle of Hastings took place on October 14, 1066, between the Norman forces under Duke William II and the English army led by King Harold II. This pivotal day marked the defeat of King Harold at the hands of William the Conqueror, leading to the collapse of the English army. William was subsequently crowned as the first Norman King of England, a momentous event in medieval history that profoundly altered the course of history. The reverse design of this commemorative coin, crafted by John Bergdahl, draws inspiration from the Bayeux Tapestry, a renowned historical artefact depicting the battle.
