JUST 1,200 AVAILABLE: Official Stories of the Second World War Silver Piedfort

During one of history’s darkest chapters, Britain stood strong against the forces of fascism.

Now, The Royal Mint has issued a 50p coin to honour the stories of the British people, from every walk of life, that contributed to the hard-fought victory in the Second World War.

The coin's reverse features intricate depictions of the War Medal 1939–45, the Defence Medal, and the 1939–45 Star which would have been given to those who stood up in the face of adversity. 

For what we believe to be the first time in living memory, this UK 50p coin also features two reigning Kings: His Majesty King Charles III on the obverse and King George VI—his grandfather—on the reverse, depicted within the World War II campaign medals.

You can own this powerful design in the incredibly popular Piedfort specification.

With a strict edition limit of just 1,200 the Piedfort is one of the most exclusive ways to own this UK issue.

• Two reigning Kings on a UK 50p – believed to be the first time in living memory.
