A Collection That Remembers Britain’s Road to Victory, today for just £120 (plus £3.95 P&P)

The Second World War was shaped by moments of courage, sacrifice and national resolve. From the skies above Britain to the beaches of Normandy, and finally to the celebrations of Victory in Europe, each chapter helped turn the course of history.

The History Witnessed, Victory Remembered Set brings together original wartime currency and exclusive anniversary commemoratives honouring the defining events that led Britain and the Allies towards victory.

Original King George VI Sixpence: This original King George VI Sixpence would have circulated during one of the most challenging periods in British history. It is a genuine piece of wartime-era currency, connecting today’s collector with the everyday lives of those who lived through the conflict.

Original World War II Emergency Banknote: This original emergency banknote stands as a witness to history as it unfolded. Issued for use during the extraordinary circumstances of war, it recalls a time when the nation adapted, endured and pressed forward in the face of uncertainty.

The 85th Anniversary of the Battle of Britain Fairmined Gold Layered Coin: The Battle of Britain remains one of the most celebrated moments of national resistance. Fought in the skies above Britain in 1940, it saw the Royal Air Force defend the country against invasion and marked a crucial turning point in the war. This pure 24-carat Fairmined gold layered coin honours the courage of “The Few” and the victory that helped preserve Britain’s freedom.

The 80th Anniversary of D-Day Fairmined Gold Layered Coin: On 6th June 1944, Allied forces launched the largest seaborne invasion in history on the beaches of Normandy. D-Day opened the path to the liberation of Western Europe and became one of the defining military operations of the Second World War. This commemorative edition pays tribute to the bravery, planning and sacrifice that made the Normandy landings possible.

The 80th Anniversary of Victory in Europe Fairmined Gold Layered Coin: On 8th May 1945, Britain and the Allies celebrated Victory in Europe. After years of hardship, sacrifice and uncertainty, VE Day marked the end of the war in Europe and the beginning of a new chapter of remembrance. This commemorative coin honours the generation who endured the conflict and the victory achieved through their courage and service.
