Celebrate the 80th Anniversary of VE Day with this exclusive silver proof £5 coin cover

The 80th anniversary of VE Day marks a poignant milestone in history, commemorating the moment the world celebrated the end of the Second World War in Europe. It is a time to honour the courage and sacrifices of the men and women who fought for freedom, as well as to remember the resilience of those who endured unimaginable hardships on the home front. As we reflect on this defining moment, it serves as a powerful reminder of the enduring importance of peace, unity, and the triumph of hope over adversity.

To commemorate this historic anniversary, a striking new coin cover has been issued, featuring a 2025-dated VE Day coin officially approved by Buckingham Palace. The £5 coin is expertly struck in 925/1000 sterling silver to the very highest proof finish. The reverse showcases a specially commissioned design of London’s iconic skyline, with St Paul’s Cathedral at its heart, symbolising the nation’s gratitude and celebrations 80 years ago. The design is adorned with the years 1945 and 2025 and a Union Jack flag enhanced in full colour, plus flags spelling out ‘V’ and ‘E,’ evoking the joyous bunting and flag-waving that marked the end of the war. The obverse features Jody Clark’s portrait of King Charles III, whose mother, Queen Elizabeth II, was just 19 on VE Day and famously joined the crowds in London, calling it “one of the most memorable nights of my life.”

To complete this historic cover, it includes a replica of a stunning painting by acclaimed artist Diane Fawcett, capturing the iconic VE Day Buckingham Palace balcony scene. Additionally, this exclusive cover includes a complete set of 1995 Europa, Peace and Freedom stamps plus a 1st Class Crowned Lion stamp postmarked on the 1st January 2025 which sets in stone the tiny edition limit of only 499 covers.

VE Day witnessed an unprecedented wave of emotion and celebration, making it a timeless and cherished theme among collectors. With a low edition limit, don’t miss the chance to secure your 2025 80th Anniversary of VE Day Silver Proof £5 Coin Cover before it sells out.
