The 80th Anniversary of VE Day 2025 UK 50p Silver Proof Coin

The Coin Company is proud to present The 80th Anniversary of VE Day 2025 UK 50p Silver Proof Coin by the Royal Mint.  

Following almost six years of hardship, adversity and uncertainty, Victory in Europe (VE) Day was a historic day filled with joyful celebrations, tearful reflection and national pride. To commemorate the 80th anniversary of VE Day, The Royal Mint has released a UK coin featuring a reverse design by the late John Mills. Originally issued in 1995 to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the end of the Second World War, the ‘dove of peace’ design has been updated to include the words ‘IN PEACE GOODWILL’, taken from former Prime Minister Winston Churchill’s book series The Second World War.

The perfect keepsake for military enthusiasts, British history buffs and those with a personal connection to the Second World War, the UK 50p coin is available as a gold Proof, silver Proof Piedfort, silver Proof and Brilliant Uncirculated edition. It will also appear in specially curated collector sets alongside 1945-dated circulating coins. On 8 May 2025, the 80th anniversary of VE Day, The Royal Mint will also be striking a special gold Proof edition of the coin featuring an ‘80’ privy mark.
