The Royal Mint has released a new £5 coin for Remembrance Day 2020.
The 2020 Remembrance Day £5Remembrance Day, known to many as 'Poppy Day' is a remembrance of all the people who gave their life in wars for Britain. It started not long after World War One so as to remember the fallen, many who never made it back home.
The coins are available from the Royal Mint Shop
.Even today, the remains of soldiers killed in WWI are still being found in France and modern DNA techniques are being used to try and identify them and bring news to ancestors who still wonder what happened to them. Whether identified or not, the remains are given a proper burial.
We probably owe a lot to people we never knew existed. Each year on Remembrance Sunday (closest to 11th November) at 11.00am, we usually hold one or two minutes silence to honour both the known and unknown heroes who fought in those horrendous times.
The Reverse, by Natasha Preece, shows the silhouette of a soldier on a digitally printed background of a red poppy field. The legend is LEST WE FORGET 11 NOVEMBER 2020.
Edge is milled.
The Obverse shows a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II by Jody Clark.Coin is available in BU, Silver Proof and Silver Proof Piedfort.
