The King and Queen: 'Duty & Service' Commemorative Set

A Collection That Honours a Lifetime of Service for just £75 (plus £3.95 P&P)

During the darkest days of the Second World War, King George VI became a symbol of courage and resilience for the British people - choosing to remain alongside his people as Britain faced one of the greatest challenges in its history. His daughter, Princess Elizabeth, would follow his example.

Rather than observing the war effort from afar, the young Princess trained as a mechanic and driver demonstrating that service to country transcended rank, privilege and position.

The King & Queen: Duty & Service Set brings together original wartime currency and a modern commemorative coin that celebrate this shared legacy of service, sacrifice and unwavering commitment to the nation.

Original King George VI Sixpence: This original circulating coin dates from the reign of King George VI and would have passed through countless hands during the Second World War. From servicemen preparing for deployment to families supporting the war effort on the home front, it serves as a tangible connection to one of the most significant periods in British history.

Original World War II Emergency Banknote: Issued during the wartime years, this original emergency banknote is another remarkable witness to history. As Britain faced uncertainty both at home and abroad, these notes circulated throughout the nation, becoming part of everyday life during a time of extraordinary challenge and sacrifice.

The Platinum Jubilee 'A Lifetime of Service' Fairmined Gold Layered Coin: This beautifully designed commemorative coin tells the story of Queen Elizabeth II's lifelong commitment to service through two original photographs. The first demonstrates her determination to contribute to the national effort during the Second World War. Whilst the second shows Her late Majesty decades later attending a Remembrance service as Queen.
