William the Conqueror during the Battle of Hastings (October 14, 1066), where the Norman duke's troops defeated the Anglo-Saxon army of King Harold. The image of William is taken from the famous Bayeux Tapestry (long believed to have been created with Matilda's involvement, hence it is also called the 'Tapestry of Queen Matilda'). The coin shows the scene where William removed his helmet to prove to his soldiers that he was not dead. Halley's Comet, observed in 1066, is depicted at the top. The face value, mint year '2016', and the letters 'RF' (République française – 'French Republic') are shown at the bottom.
