85th Anniversary Souvenir Coin (Battle of Britain)

Celebrate the 85th anniversary of the Battle of Britain with this exquisite gold collectable souvenir coin, designed by IWM. Featuring detailed artwork, including a blueprint of a Spitfire and two Hurricanes, and the iconic image of a pilot scrambling towards their Spitfire, this coin is a tribute to the bravery and resilience of RAF pilots.

In 1940, RAF pilots stationed across France and Britain would wait outside dispersal huts for the shout of "Scramble!"—the signal to run to their aircraft, take off, and engage the Luftwaffe in fierce aerial combat. The Battle of Britain, which took place from 10 July to 31 October 1940, saw Duxford as a Sector Station responsible for directing squadrons into battle.

This special anniversary coin is available for a limited time, commemorating the pivotal moments and heroic efforts of the Battle of Britain.
