Churchill £5 Coin marks 75 years since VE Day
75 Years ago, on May 8, 1945, Churchill addressed the nation, “God bless you all. This is your victory! It is the victory of the cause of freedom in every land. In all our long history we have never seen a greater day than this”. The long-awaited day of peace had come, and the years of hostility in Europe ended. To mark the 75th Anniversary of VE Day in 2020, a new £5 coin has been issued — the VE Day 75th Anniversary £5 coin.
It is said that during the dark days of the Second World War Churchill “took the English language and sent it into battle.”
Implementing an ingenious minting technique, the design of the new £5 coin features a portrait of Winston Churchill with his iconic V for Victory sign made entirely from the words of his speech as he addressed the nation on VE Day. At the coin's perimeter is the dial of Big Ben and the V and the E of the VE75 insignia point to one minute past midnight, the time that the ceasefire officially came into effect, at the same time the bells of Big Ben rang out to the gathering crowds to signal the war was finally over.
World-first Typographic £5 Coin Presents Churchill in His Own Words: This is your Victory
Over this May bank holiday weekend, as we remember the heroes of the Second World War, Winston Churchill’s victory speech will once again resound across the country just as it did 75 years ago. It is scheduled to be rebroadcast in public spaces as part of the VE Day 75th anniversary commemorations. The new £5 Coin issued to mark the 75th anniversary of VE Day fittingly depicts Churchill in his own words, taken from that victory speech.
