Wings of Britain De Havilland Mosquito Silver Plated BU Commemorative
Description
Known affectionately as the Wooden Wonder, the De Havilland Mosquito was one of the most versatile aircraft of the Second World War. Built largely from balsa wood and birch plywood at a time when metal was in desperately short supply, the Mosquito outpaced most enemy fighters and served with equal brilliance as a bomber, night fighter, pathfinder and reconnaissance platform. Its speed, agility and sheer ingenuity of construction made it a marvel of British engineering.
This silver-plated commemorative celebrates the Mosquito in striking detail. Struck to a Brilliant Uncirculated standard with a proof-like finish, this 32mm piece is plated in .999 fine silver and weighs 10.5 grams — a testament to one of aviation history's most remarkable designs.
