2020 Great Britain Gold & Silver 75th anniversary of VE Day 3-pc Proof Set NGC PF70UC First Releases
Join the Celebration with Great Britain’s 75th Anniversary of VE Day Coins
May 8, 1945 marked the end of World War II in Europe. It was proclaimed Victory in Europe Day — VE-Day. And in 2020 to celebrate the 75th anniversary of that glorious moment in time, Great’s Britain’s prestigious Royal Mint released a sentimental series of commemorative coins that capture the joyous celebrations that spread across the world following the surrender of Nazi Germany, thus bringing an end to the war in the European Theater.
At 3 pm on May 8th, 1945, Winston Churchill made a national radio broadcast announcing the end of World War II in Europe. Now known as VE (Victory in Europe) Day, it marked the end of nearly six years of battle.

Each features a joyful design of Londoners celebrating the news; a woman in the foreground holds up a newspaper announcing Victory in Europe. In this offer, you can secure this design on three different coins — a 12-gram silver proof and a 24-gram silver double-thick Piedfort proof, each struck in 92.5% fine silver with an outer ring plated in gold, and a 15.96-gram gold proof struck in 91.67% fine gold with an outer ring plated in red gold.
