Great Britain Stories of the Second World War 2025 50p Silver Coin

As we reflect on a conflict that is now receding into history, the reverse of a new commemorative UK coin from The Royal Mint shines a light on the lived experience of the generation who gave so much in the long, hard struggle for victory. Artist Timothy Noad pays tribute to the contributions that came from across society with a design that features the War Medal 193945, the Defence Medal (United Kingdom) and the 193945 Star that were awarded for wartime service.

During the Second World War, Britain was imperilled by the forces of fascism. The British, both at home and on the front line, showed extraordinary courage in the fight against Nazi Germany and its Axis partners and as these events fade from living memory, the spirit and steadfastness of those who lived through the war survives in the form of their personal stories.

• A perfect addition for collectors with an interest in the history of the Second World War
• Features an original reverse design by acclaimed artist Timothy Noad
