WWII Historic DateStamp™ Set: JUST 250 WORLDWIDE
In the 80th anniversary year of VE Day, just 250 collectors can own an exclusive DateStamp™ set that marks both the outbreak and resolution of World War Two through original coinage.
This special set brings together:
- The 1939 Silver Half-Crown – struck in the very year Britain declared war on Germany.
- The complete set of 1945 coinage – issued as peace returned to Europe, capturing the final chapter of WWII in pre-decimal design.
Each coin is authentic, once part of everyday life during those uncertain years, now presented in this bespoke DateStamp™.
And what’s more, the 1939 Half-Crown has been officially postmarked with a bespoke Royal Mail stamp dated 8th May 2025 — the 80th anniversary of VE Day.
Why this DateStamp™ is an essential addition to your collection:
- Features original wartime coinage: the 1939 Silver Half-Crown and all denominations from 1945, from the Farthing to the Half-Crown.
- Carries an official 8th May 2025 postmark, creating a powerful tribute to both the beginning and end of WWII.
- Comes with a Certificate of Authenticity and is individually numbered to confirm its place within the strict 250 edition limit.
- A complete WWII-era coin presentation like this is extremely rare, and this is the first time it has been issued in a DateStamp™ format.
With a global edition of just 250, demand is expected to be high.
