A Tribute to Royal Service: The VE Day 80th Anniversary Commemorative Set

Eighty years ago, on the 8th of May 1945, the United Kingdom and its Allies celebrated the end of the Second World War in Europe. VE Day remains one of the most significant milestones in our nation’s modern history — a moment of relief, reflection, and remembrance. As the nation marks the 80th anniversary of this historic occasion, a special commemorative release honours those who led with quiet courage and steadfast duty: the British Royal Family.

Each of the five medals within the set features an original design by acclaimed artist Jean-Michel Girard, capturing a different facet of the Royals’ wartime involvement. These pieces are more than commemoratives — they are historical reflections rendered in lasting form.

Queen Elizabeth Visiting Bombed Areas (1940)

As the Blitz devastated London and other cities, Queen Elizabeth (later the Queen Mother) walked the bombed streets, offering words of comfort and solidarity to those affected. Her presence was both reassuring and defiant — an enduring symbol of resilience.

Princess Elizabeth in the Auxiliary Territorial Service (1945)

In 1945, at the age of 18, Princess Elizabeth — our future Queen — joined the ATS and trained as a mechanic and driver. The medal portraying this moment honours a young woman who served not in name only, but with her hands and her time, setting a powerful example of service.

The Royal Family on VE Day (1945)

On Victory in Europe Day, the Royal Family appeared on the balcony of Buckingham Palace before vast and jubilant crowds. This moment, immortalised in photographs and memory, spoke of national unity, relief, and the enduring bond between monarchy and people.

Princess Elizabeth and Princess Margaret on VE Day (1945)

In a rare and touching gesture, the young princesses ventured into the crowds to celebrate among the public, sharing in the joy and freedom that VE Day brought. Their presence was personal, sincere, and deeply human.

King George VI Visiting a Munitions Factory (1940)

Throughout the war, King George VI offered calm, determined leadership. His visits to bomb sites, military installations, and factories — including the Nottingham munitions factory depicted here — lifted morale and reminded Britons that they were not alone.


A Fitting Tribute — Limited to Just 1,945 Sets Worldwide

To honour this legacy, only 1,945 sets have been issued — a meaningful reference to the year VE Day was declared. Each set is presented in a themed display box and accompanied by an official Certificate of Authenticity, underscoring its significance and rarity.

Rare WWII Coin Set: How Seven Wartime Coins Tell the Story of Britain in WWII

There’s something deeply powerful about holding history in your hands – the kind of tactile connection that takes you beyond textbooks and museum displays. That’s exactly the experience offered by the World War II Threepence Collector’s Frame: a rare and exclusive set of seven original British brass threepence coins, each minted during a year of global conflict that reshaped the world.

Spanning 1939 to 1945, these coins are more than currency – they’re miniature monuments to courage, endurance, and a nation’s resilience during the Second World War. And now, for a select few, they’re available to own, preserved in a premium frame that does justice to their incredible story.

Coins That Crossed the Frontlines of History

Imagine where these coins have been. Perhaps a 1940 threepence passed from a mother’s hand to her child at a train station, just before an evacuation to the countryside. Maybe a 1944 piece was used by a soldier buying a pint in a London pub before heading to the beaches of Normandy. Or a 1942 coin clinked in the pocket of a munitions factory worker during a night shift beneath the blackout blinds.

Each coin in this collection bears the effigy of King George VI, a stoic symbol of wartime leadership. And each features the twelve-sided brass design that became iconic during the war years – sturdy, unmistakable, and quintessentially British.

A Curated Tribute to a Nation’s Finest Hour

The WWII Threepence Collector’s Frame isn’t just a set of coins – it’s a story told in seven chapters. Housed in a bespoke collector’s frame adorned with evocative wartime artwork, this collection is as much a display piece as it is a historical archive.

Only 1,939 of these limited-edition frames have been authorised for worldwide release – a number carefully chosen to honour the year the war began. That rarity ensures each piece remains as exclusive as it is meaningful, appealing to both numismatists and history lovers alike.
