Säljarens beskrivning
On 8 May 1945, the Allies finally defeated Nazi Germany, bringing an end to the Second World War in Europe and sparking celebrations across the country.
Making it official to the masses, Prime Minister Winston Churchill made a public radio announcement at 3pm that same day. Street parties broke out throughout
the United Kingdom and huge crowds gathered at public landmarks to celebrate. This included Buckingham Palace where the king himself (George VI) made an
appearance to greet the jubilant crowds, along with his immediate family and the Prime Minister. VE Day 2020 marked the historic 75th anniversary of this
momentous triumph, honoured here with a beautifully crafted UK coin. Designed by Royal Mint designer Dominique Evans, this wonderful piece of history
captures the joy and energy of the original VE Day and is the perfect way to commemorate one of the most significant events in living memory.
VE Day 2020
United Across Generations
Following news of Germany's surrender, 8 May 1945 – Victory in Europe (VE) Day – was declared a public holiday. With bunting strung from lamp posts and pubs stocked with beer, war-weary Britons could finally celebrate. People danced and hugged in the streets as sheer joy broke down social conventions. “This is your victory,” declared Winston Churchill, paying tribute to the British people who had remained unbowed by the bombings and blackouts. VE Day remains in the memory of all who witnessed it. Seventy-five years on, we thank the generation who gave so much and honour their spirit and sacrifice.
In 2020, we remember the first hopeful steps towards lasting peace and the promise of a brighter future with a commemorative £2 coin. Available in limited-edition gold Proof, silver Proof and silver Proof Piedfort editions, alongside a Brilliant Uncirculated edition, Royal Mint graphic designer Dominique Evans captures the magnitude of events with a design that puts people at the very heart of the coin – the rays emanating from the centre evoke a sense of hope. As we mark this landmark anniversary, it’s a poignant reminder of the strength of national unity in times of crisis.
