This striking 2020 United Kingdom release marks three quarters of a century since the end of the Second World War in Europe. Struck to an exceptional proof finish, the coin is a Piedfort edition, meaning it is crafted with double the thickness of a standard issue. This substantial piece contains 0.7136 troy ounces of sterling silver, offering a tactile and visual depth that highlights its intricate details. Developed in partnership with the Imperial War Museum, the reverse design captures the jubilant spirit of Victory in Europe Day, displaying the commemorative dates of 1945 to 2020. On the obverse, the portrait of Queen Elizabeth II by Jody Clark is paired with the two pound denomination. With a highly restricted release of just 1,635 pieces globally, this coin stands as a beautifully crafted tribute to a historic moment of peace.
