| Additional information |
The Euryalus was a fifth-rate frigate present at Trafalgar in October 1805, and it was her captain, Henry Blackwood, who signaled Nelson's famous flag message across the fleet. After the battle, she took the crippled Victory in tow. Burkina Faso's numismatic program — like many small francophone states — licenses designs through European distributors targeting collector markets with no organic connection to the subject matter.
The ship series issued under this program has no historical or cultural tie to Burkina Faso.
