Wings of Britain Hawker Sea Harrier Silver Plated BU Commemorative
Description
The Hawker Sea Harrier earned its fearsome reputation in the icy skies above the South Atlantic. During the Falklands War of 1982, a handful of these remarkable aircraft defended the entire British task force, shooting down over twenty Argentine jets without a single loss in air-to-air combat. Operating from the decks of HMS Invincible and HMS Hermes in some of the harshest conditions imaginable, the Sea Harrier proved that vertical take-off was no gimmick — it was a game changer.
This silver-plated commemorative celebrates the Sea Harrier in exceptional 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 proud tribute to the Falklands hero that rewrote naval aviation.
A prized addition to any Wings of Britain collection — do not let this one slip through the net.
