Conflict and Currency - The Coins of WWI

The First World War Currency & Conflict Set

Old circulating coins are a witness to history, having weathered the storm through empires, wars and crises, and as we hold them in our hands, they provide us with a tangible connection to the hands that once held them during the most pivotal moments in history. The coins in the pockets of heroes, spent on a well-earned evening’s leave as the soldiers painted the town red. Or perhaps they were the coins that remained on home shores - keeping the home fires burning. What we can be sure of is that these coins are artefacts of their time, struck and circulated through the crucial years of The Great War, and if they could speak, what a story they could tell.

• Original, circulating coins from the First World War
• Dated between 1914 and 1918
• All bearing the portrait of King George V - Britain’s most beloved wartime monarch
