2025 VE Day 80th Anniversary UK 50p Coin

Celebrate a landmark moment in history with the 2025 VE Day 80th Anniversary 50p Coin from The Royal Mint.

Eighty years ago, on 8 May 1945, Victory in Europe was declared after almost six years of hardship, adversity and uncertainty. Streets across Britain erupted in joyful celebration, tearful reflection and national pride as the end of the Second World War was finally in sight.

The reverse of this Brilliant Uncirculated coin features a refreshed version of John Mills' iconic 'dove of peace' design, originally created for the 50th anniversary in 1995. In this updated tribute, the dove is paired with the powerful inscription ‘IN PEACE GOODWILL’, taken from former Prime Minister Winston Churchill’s celebrated book series, The Second World War.

A poignant keepsake for military enthusiasts, collectors of British history and those with a personal connection to the Second World War, this coin stands as a timeless reminder of the sacrifices made and the peace won. Secure your piece of history today and honour the spirit of a generation.
