Proof Gold Allied Forces Four Coin Set
Description This Allied Forces Gold Proof Four Coin Set symbolises celebration and freedom. The UK, USA, France and Russia were the four countries that contributed the largest number of resources and soldiers to the combined Allied armies in WW2. In 1945, the Prime Minister announced the news of Japan’s surrender and the end of WWII. Following the broadcast, Britain exploded into a state of joy. Parties with bonfires and fireworks took place across the country and many servicemen and women linked arms with civilians to march through the streets. Partygoers invaded Central London dancing and singing and continued into the early hours of the morning. 15th and 16th August 1945 were declared as national holidays, to mark the return of peace to the world. Crowds filled the streets of Paris, around 2 million people flooded Times Square and the streets of New York and victory filled Berlin. The reverse of the £2 Royal Mint coin features a representation of the iconic St Paul’s Cathedral bathed in floodlight. The French coin features doves of peace. The American Eagle features the iconic Eagle and lady Liberty. The design theme for the Russian coin is based on the highest Soviet military decoration, the Order of Victoria. Each coin in this Allied Forces set comes in a plastic capsule, along with a combined informative booklet and certificate of authenticity, replica letter written by King George VI to the children of the nation and original Royal Mint boxes.
