Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the end of World War II, specifically VE Day (Victory in Europe Day), which marked the formal surrender of Germany and the end of the war in Europe. The coin's design features an image of Queen Elizabeth II, along with the inscription "VE DAY 1945-2005" and the dates "8 MAY 1945" and "8 MAY 2005" to represent the anniversary. The coin's gold content and proof finish add to its collectibility and value.
