To mark the 75th anniversary of VE Day this Friday, the Royal Mint has released a new £2 coin design. The design for purchase says “thank you” to the wartime generation which marks 75 years after Victory in Europe Day.
This coin was created in association with the Imperial War Museum in an effort to “capture the spirit in stoicism of the wartime generation and the gratitude of those that followed”.
And the £2 along with a history set of coins used in the Second World War era are available to buy from the Royal Mint, but more could be released if there is enough demand.
Royal Mint will also strike a limited edition of 750 sovereigns Benedetto Pistrucci's iconic St George and the dragon design on Friday.
