Monnaie de Paris - United Kingdom VE Day 80th Anniversary 1/4€ Coin

As part of its commemorative series marking the 80th anniversary of VE Day, Monnaie de Paris honours the Allied effort in the Asia-Pacific theatre with this coin dedicated to the liberation of Singapore.

The design features a joyful scene of British soldiers and local civilians celebrating together. A young boy waves the Union Jack as a British paratrooper makes the “V” for victory sign. In the background, colonial-era architecture can be seen, including the dome of the Old Supreme Court, capturing the moment of hope at the end of Japanese occupation.

On the reverse, a spiral of Allied flags encircles the denomination, paying homage to all the nations who fought together.

Struck by Monnaie de Paris to brilliant uncirculated standard, this official French issue is a lasting and meaningful piece of World War II remembrance. With a limited mintage and part of a broader collectible series, this coin offers both historic value and strong appeal for modern Euro collectors.
