The Soldier’s Battle - The Battle of Inkerman
An expertly crafted sculpture of a Coldstream Guard fighting at the Battle of Inkerman, combined with a genuine Victorian silver shilling!
- Meticulous sculpting brings out every detail; each piece is intricately hand-painted to capture every nuance of colour and texture: from the soldier’s grey overcoat and trousers to the way his boots sink in the dirt beneath his feet.
- With a bag and canteen slung over his shoulders, in his hands he carries the formidable Enfield Pattern 1853 rifle-musket and bayonet.
- A circulated Victorian shilling minted in .925 sterling silver has been carefully encapsulated and is included with your sculpture.
- Also included are a specially struck Danbury Mint commemorative medallion and a Certificate of Authenticity attesting to the exclusivity of this historic collectable.

In November 1854, the allied forces of Britain and France took to the field at Inkerman against the numerically superior Imperial Russian Army. Foggy conditions forced the armies to abandon traditional ranged combat and instead engage at close quarters. Fierce hand-to-hand fighting ensued, in which the skill of the individual soldier was more important than the might of the armies. Hidden in the fog, the troops had no choice but to act on their own initiative, and as such, the engagement became known as “The Soldier’s Battle”.
What the allies lacked in numbers they made up for in skill, bravery and tenacity, and the prolonged melee saw the British and French forces emerge victorious. To commemorate this impressive victory, Danbury Mint is proud to present…The Soldier’s Battle: The Battle of Inkerman – a magnificent, hand-painted sculpture of a British infantryman accompanied by a genuine Victorian silver shilling and a specially-minted commemorative medallion.
Actual size is 11½" (29cm) tall x 4½" (11.5cm) wide x 4½” (11.5cm) deep.
