The Remembrance 2021 Commemorative Crown

ORDER THE REMEMBRANCE 2021 COMMEMORATIVE CROWN TODAY!

The first sign of life that sprung from the churned-up earth on the battlefields, the poppy was adopted as the official emblem of remembrance in 1921, symbolising hope for a peaceful future, and a reminder of the lives tragically lost during the First World War.

100 years on, there is no more emotive a symbol than the poppy, that year upon year unites us as Britons in remembering the heroes who died for our freedom. To mark the anniversary, a brand-new PURE 24-carat FAIRMINED gold layered coin has been struck to Proof quality – the highest possible standard, to celebrate this famous symbol, its significance in the history of The Great War, and all that it has come to represent over the last century.

With the poppy accented in red and the soldiers accented in black, the coin depicts the poppy, and before it, the silhouettes of soldiers trudging across the battlefields. Below them is a line from John McCrae’s famous poem: “In Flanders Fields the Poppies Blow”.
