On 8th May 1945, at 3:00 PM, Prime Minister Winston Churchill announced the unconditional surrender of Nazi Germany, marking Victory in Europe Day. This historic event ended nearly six years of brutal war. The relief and joy were palpable as people flooded the streets to celebrate.
This brand-new Silver Proof 50p collection honours Britain’s greatest generation with designs focusing on the war efforts from both civilians and soldiers. These designs include:
- Digging for Victory: Inspired by the poster campaign aiming to encourage people to plant their own vegetables to help support the war effort.
- VE Day “READ ALL ABOUT IT!”:The newspaper sold on the street announcing the end of the war, Big Ben is in the background showing 8 o’clock to represent the 8th of May.
- Working for Victory: This design shows women going to work in the factories, which was a huge part of the war effort.
- Liberation Day on Guernsey: Civilians and soldiers celebrating Liberation Day on Guernsey, the day after VE Day.
- Railway Station Evacuees: thousands of children were sent away from major cities and into the countryside for safety, with many travelling by train.
