Battle of Britain 85th DateStamp™: Honour "The Few"

Battle of Britain 85th DateStamp™: Honour Our Heroes

This year marks the 85th anniversary of the Battle of Britain. Fought over the skies of Britain during the summer of 1940, it was one of the most significant events of the Second World War.

In commemoration of the battle, a special DateStamp™ presentation has been produced. Featuring an ORIGNAL Silver Half Crown from 1940. This exclusive issue pays tribute to the pilots who fought during the Battle.

Officially Postmarked for Anniversary Date

The Royal Mail has postmarked each and every one of these exclusive presentations for the exact 85th anniversary date – 10th July 2025. That means the worldwide edition limit of 125 can never be exceeded. Once they’re gone, no more can ever be produced.

Original 1940 Silver Half Crown

Your presentation features an original Silver Half Crown from World War Two dated 1940 – just think, it may even have flown above Britain 85 years ago! Having been out of circulation for over half a century, these Half Crowns are not easy to source.

Yours for £70 (+p&p) – Limited Number Available

When you combine the one-day-only postmark and the fact that these coins are becoming difficult to source in large numbers, it’s no surprise that there are only a limited number of these DateStamp™ presentations available. Given the importance of the anniversary this year, demand is expected to be high. So, order yours today to avoid disappointment.
