REVEALED: The new VE Day 50p coins collectors have gone mad for… and how YOU can own them!
8th May 1945 brought with it the beginning of the end of World War II.
As Churchill took to the radio to announce that the conflict which had consumed the continent for six years was finally over, the nation rejoiced and VE Day became a defining moment in the history of the nation.
75 years on, the last of the wartime generation remember and the generations that followed commemorate the sacrifices made to shape a peaceful future. In honour of this important anniversary, seven brand-new British Isles 50p coins have been issued by the Isle of Man and they’re a must have for any collector or history enthusiast.
Let’s take a look…
Uniquely, the seven coins spell out the word ‘VICTORY’ with moving reverse designs capturing the spirit of VE Day as it was felt throughout the nation:
V – Churchill and his famous V for Victory stance
I – Manx people celebrating
C – Soldiers shaking hands in Trafalgar Square
T– Battleship, HMS Dido returning
O – Spitfires flying over St Paul’s Cathedral
R – Street party celebrations
Y – A soldier returning home to his family
The hunt is on!
Importantly, 25,000 of each coin will be entering circulation on the Isle of Man and everyone will be checking their change to get hold of them! However, anyone lucky enough to come across one in their change is bound to snap it up and the likelihood of finding ALL 7 coins is very slim!
So, if a trip to the Isle of Man is out of the question and you want to get your hands on all 7 50p coins, we have just the thing…
