RE: 2025 Rwanda 50 Francs HMS Victory - 260 Years of Service.

I think this was well done. Seems like they put most of their cash into developing the design of the reverse while the obverse is ...meh. I can't complain other than the silly plastic flip.

This post took me 15 days to put it together only when I felt I had a decent window of time I could dedicate to writing this post without feeling sick.
I ditched the plastic flip and re-shot too. It’s worth seeing the difference 100%

I'm sure there will be other versions of the Victory and there is a lot of angles to write about this very ship. Here's an interesting factoid, The cost to build this ship in 1765 was £63,100, It is estimated about $100 million USD to construct an identical version today. Depending who you source from. Personally, I'd still settle for a Light Frigate rather than a Ship of the Line.

Thanks for the comment @thebighigg

That was a very long time putting the post together, great work! Can you imagine spending $100 million to get a replica built? What an insane amount of money... A light frigate would make much more sense!
