The 70th Anniversary of VE Day Coin Cover
Released to commemorate the 70th Anniversary of VE Day...
On the 70th Anniversary of VE Day in 2015, Guernsey released a very special Coin Cover in commemoration of the historic event.
The 70th Anniversary of VE Day Coin Cover features official Liberation stamps from Guernsey, which have been postmarked on their first day of issue - 1st May, 2015. These stamps are a poignant release, as the Channel Islands were the only British soil that Germany was able to conquer.
Carefully encapsulated within the cover is an official Guernsey Treasury Proof £5 VE Day Coin, which was issued especially to mark the 70th Anniversary and minted to the highest Proof finish. The coin features imagery of victorious soldiers and the crowds celebrating in a beautiful design.
With a strict edition limit of just 950 worldwide and exclusively available from The Westminster Collection, there are very few of these special VE Day Covers remaining. Act fast to secure yours whilst stocks last.
