As we observe the 75th anniversary of Victory in Europe (VE) Day, The Royal Mint is delighted to mark this milestone for the nation with a gold Sovereign – a coin befitting the occasion. Just 750 Sovereigns featuring Benedetto Pistrucci’s iconic St George and the dragon design will be struck on 8 May 2020, when people of all ages unite to thank the wartime generation. The coin features a special VE Day 75 mint mark and the striking is authenticated by a hand-signed Certificate of Authenticity which accompanies the 22 carat gold Brilliant Uncirculated coin.
