85 Years Ago Britain Stood Alone. Outnumbered. The Fate of a Nation Hung by a Thread
The summer of 1940 was our nation’s darkest hour. The enemy held the advantage in numbers and firepower. Yet the Few — the fearless pilots of the Royal Air Force’s Fighter Command — took to the skies. They fought. They prevailed. And history was made.
Eighty-five years on, Heritage Coins is proud to present the official RAF-licensed Battle of Britain 85th Anniversary Silver Proof 50p Coin — a tribute not only to those who fought in the air, but to the many who worked tirelessly on the ground to secure Britain’s freedom.
Britain’s Finest Hour - Captured in 99.9% Pure Silver
Each coin is struck from 99.9% pure silver and finished to the immaculate Proof standard. This is the pinnacle of modern minting, achieved through multiple precision strikes that bring every detail to life. The reverse, by acclaimed artist Heena Rai, depicts the legendary Hawker Hurricane in flight, while the obverse bears the official coinage portrait of His Majesty King Charles III by Jody Clark.
Just 2,937 Coins - One for Each of the Few
Each coin is part of a strict worldwide edition limit of only 2,937 — a number chosen to honour every RAF Fighter Command pilot who took part in the Battle of Britain. Once these coins are allocated, no further issues will be struck.
The Official Presentation Folder - FREE with your order
The official presentation folder - packed full of informative facts and images from the archives of Imperial War Museums and The National Archives, charts the main events, the key people, the aircraft, and the defence systems that contributed to Britain’s victory and houses the certifcate of authenticity accompanying the coin.
