Commemorates the end of World War II... Peace in Europe 1945
May 8th 1945, the day after Germany's unconditional surrender, was VE Day (Victory in Europe). When Sir Winston Churchill's 3pm Downing Street radio broadcast declared the war had officially ended church bells rang and spontaneous street parties began throughout the country. The display contains nine coins, namely: halfcrown, florin, English shilling, Scottish shilling, sixpence (all struck in 50% silver), threepence, penny, halfpenny and farthing plus the commemorative "Victory and Peace" postage stamps. The coins were minted in 1945 and are in fine or better condition and the stamps are in mint condition as issued. The set is housed in a display/protection case but can be removed so why not frame to further enhance? |
