In 2025, we mark the 85th Anniversary of the Battle of Britain - a pivotal moment in our nation's history when an outnumbered and outgunned Royal Air Force stood firm against tyranny.
Known to history as “The Few”, these brave individuals altered the course of the Second World War through sheer courage and unyielding resolve.
An Enduring Legacy in 5oz Silver Proof
Now, you have the opportunity to honour their legacy with an exceptional collector’s piece: the 85th Anniversary Battle of Britain 5oz Silver Proof Coin. Struck from pure silver and finished to the highest Proof standard, this substantial issue stands as a commanding reminder of Britain’s finest hour.
Enhanced with selective 24 Carat Gold-plating, the coin’s dramatic reverse design by acclaimed artists Bill Dady and Matt Tindall showcases two iconic aircraft that defined the skies of 1940 — the Supermarine Spitfire and the Hawker Hurricane.
The featured Hurricane, P2725, is not chosen at random. It famously defended the skies over London, intercepting a German Dornier on a collision course with Buckingham Palace. With ammunition exhausted, its pilot resorted to a daring aerial ramming manoeuvre, successfully bringing down the enemy aircraft before it could reach its target.
A Numismatic Rarity of National Significance
The obverse bears the official effigy of His Majesty King Charles III by Glyn Davies, uniting past and present in one masterful design.
Strictly limited to just 295 coins worldwide, this issue is among the rarest tributes to the Battle of Britain ever released. Its scarcity, combined with historical significance and craftsmanship, makes it a landmark piece for any serious collector.
