During World War II, the German War Machine possessed what for those times was a highly advanced missile technology. The Nazis exploited this technology to send prodigious pernicious volleys of "buzz bombs" to mercilessly bombard London, reducing much of the city to rubble. The Nazi intent was not just to destroy and kill but to break the will of the Brits who at that time in the War stood alone against the Nazis. Instead of breaking the will of the British, the Nazi bombings strengthened it along with their resolve to fight on to victory. St. Paul's Cathedral, miraculously unscathed by the bombing, stood as an icon symbolizing this nation's indestructible and unwavering resolve. One side of the coin shows St. Paul's Cathedral behind the "V" for victory sign formed by floodlights just the way it appeared on the night of VE Day at the end of WWII. In the surround are the denomination "TWO POUNDS" and the year WWII ended along with the year of mintage which is the 60th Anniversary of the end of WWII: "1945 - 2005." The other side of the coin features an effigy of Queen Elizabeth II.The special commemorative medal has the official Ministry of Defense 60th Anniversary logo on one side. The other side of the medal has an image of bells ringing out in celebration of the end of WWII.Bimetallic Coin Specifications: METAL (inner) Cupro-nickel METAL (outer) Nickel-brass FACE VALUE Two PoundsWEIGHT 12 GramsDIAMETER 28.40 MMQUALITY Brilliant UncirculatedEDGE INSCRIPTION In Victory Magnanimity in Peace Goodwill Special WWII Commemorative Medal:METAL Nickel-brassWEIGHT 11.95 GramsDIAMETER 28.40 mm This World War II British BU Coin & Medal 60TH Anniversary WW II WWII Set makes a great collectible gift for yourself or any collector.BUY IT NOW
