Throughout the month of July, ill be looking back at historical moments from the past. From conflicts to coronations, sporting moments to royal memories, and famous firsts and lasts, with my love of all things shiny and precious, ill be trying to tie these events in with coins that have been created to commemorate these moments.
The Battle of Britain began on 10 July 1940 and would last until 31 October of the same year. The clash fought in the skies above Britain was described as the first major military campaign fought entirely by air forces.
British fighter pilots defended the United Kingdom from Nazi Germany’s attempted air invasion, code-named ‘Sealion’. The victory inspired Sir Winston Churchill’s famous speech paying tribute to ‘The Few’.
Never, in the field of human conflict, was so much owed by so many to so few
-Winston Churchill
Issued by Jersey Treasury, each coin within this remarkable collection has been inspired by an excerpt from Winston Churchill’s speech – ‘Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few’, referring to the ongoing efforts of the RAF crews during this important time in our history. Whether you're a £2 collector, military enthusiast, or you're looking for the perfect way to mark this important 80th anniversary - this collection ticks all the boxes. Each coin, struck to a superior Brilliant Uncirculated quality, is presented in a stunning Battle of Britain 80th Anniversary presentation pack, making this a historically valuable piece to hand down to future generations.
