The 1914 Christmas Truce Historic Set
Today, you can commemorate one of the most extraordinary moments of World War I with original coins from 1914.
Known as the Christmas Truce of 1914, soldiers laid down their arms and joined together in an unofficial, temporary ceasefire.
Renowned as one of the most heart-warming stories of humanity to emerge from the dark days of War, this fleeting period saw soldiers from both sides of the conflict defy the violence to exchange gifts and play football between their trenches.
This remarkable collection brings together historic coins from that unforgettable year – genuine artefacts that serve as powerful reminders of peace amid war.
- Authentic Coins from 1914: includes two UK coins, two German Empire Pfennig coins, and one Belgian 1 Franc Silver coin, all struck in the very year of the Christmas Truce.
- Wartime coins from each conflicting nation are rarely seen in the hands of British collectors - many coins were lost, damaged, or buried in the trenches of Europe.
- Belgium was occupied by German forces during WWI, disrupting its economy and minting activities. The 1 Franc silver coin from 1914 is therefore a scarce artefact of pre-occupation Belgian currency and holds particular significance.
The 1914 Christmas Truce Coin Collection presents an unparalleled chance to own authentic pieces of history from each side of the conflict.
