This is the fourth coin of the series made by Windsor Mint to mark the 75th anniversary of the end of the Second World War in 2020. There are a further five coins of this type (32g, 40mm copper coin with 24-carat gold plate), and one smaller solid 14-carat gold coin. They are held in a presentation pack, and each has a certificate of authenticity, including the specific mint number of the accompanying coin.The reverse legend has a spelling error, missing the 'u' in 'honour', instead writing 'HONOR'.
