United in Peace

With Japan’s surrender, the Allied victory was complete. A war that had raged for six years, claimed millions of lives and brought suffering to entire populations was finally at an end. Across the world, people joined together in celebration; the process of reconciliation and rebuilding could finally begin.

Seventy-five years after the end of the Second World War, we recall the immense struggle and sacrifice to achieve lasting peace with a commemorative £5 coin. Matt Dent and Christian Davies capture the magnitude of events with a design inspired by stone inscriptions on war memorials. The typographic intersection of the words ‘war’ and ‘peace’ captures the sense of the conflict abating and the dawn of a new era.

Available as limited-edition gold and silver Proof editions, each coin has been independently slabbed, graded and certified by NGC. Hermetically sealed in a scratch-resistant holder to preserve its perfect state, capture this moment in history for generations to come.
