The Royal Mint has launched a commemorative coin honouring VE Day, to mark the 80th anniversary of the end of the Second World War.

皇家造幣廠已經發起了紀念代表VE Day的紀念硬幣，以紀念第二次世界大戰末80週年。

The VE Day 50p coin design, which features a dove of peace, is now available to buy from the Mint’s website.

VE Day 50p硬幣設計具有和平，現在可以從Mint的網站購買。

The design, which originally appeared on a 1995 £2 to mark 50 years since the end of the war, will also feature the inscription “In peace goodwill”.

該設計最初以1995英鎊的價格出現在戰爭結束以來50年的1995英鎊，也將以“和平商譽”為特色。

It will be available in a range of finishes, including brilliant uncirculated, silver and gold.

它將以多種飾面提供，包括輝煌的未流通，銀和金。

On May 8 2025, the 80th anniversary of VE (Victory in Europe) Day, the Mint will also be striking a special gold edition of the coin.

2025年5月8日，即VE誕辰80週年（歐洲勝利），薄荷也將擊中該硬幣的特殊黃金版。

To mark the launch of the new design, the Mint invited guests from the Taxi Charity for Military Veterans to its premises.

為了紀念新設計的推出，薄荷邀請了從出租車慈善機構的軍人退伍軍人到其場所的客人。

Veterans Ron Horsey, 98, and Richard Pelzer, 101, who are both from Swansea and served with the Royal Engineers, had a behind-the-scenes tour of the manufacturing site in South Wales and were invited to take part in coin striking.

98歲的退伍軍人羅恩·馬西（Ron Horsey）和101歲的理查德·佩爾澤（Richard Pelzer）都來自斯旺西（Swansea），並與皇家工程師（Royal Engineers）一起服務，他們在南威爾士的製造地點進行了幕後之旅，並受邀參加Coin Strikiking。

Mr Horsey said: “I’m incredibly proud to have been invited to the Royal Mint to strike this coin. VE Day holds such meaning for me and many others, and to be able to strike this design representing peace on to a coin all these years later is truly moving.

Horse先生說：“我為能夠被邀請到皇家造幣廠襲擊這枚硬幣感到非常自豪。Day對我和其他許多人的意義都具有這種意義，並且能夠在這些年以後能夠實現這一設計代表和平的硬幣。

“I hope this coin reminds people of the freedom we enjoy today and the cost at which it came.”

“我希望這種硬幣能使人們想起我們今天享有的自由以及它的成本。”

Taxi Charity vice president Dick Goodwin described the visit as “a wonderful experience”.

出租車慈善機構副總裁迪克·古德溫（Dick Goodwin）將這次訪問描述為“美好的經歷”。

Rebecca Morgan, director of commemorative coin at the Royal Mint, said: “The VE Day coin pays tribute to the courage, sacrifice and resilience of the generation who secured peace in Europe in May 1945 and it was fitting to welcome Ron and Richard to site to strike one of the first coins.”

皇家造幣廠紀念硬幣主任麗貝卡·摩根（Rebecca Morgan）表示：“ VE日硬幣向1945年5月在歐洲獲得和平的勇氣，犧牲和韌性表示敬意，這很合適，歡迎Ron和Richard來襲擊第一批硬幣之一。”

The Mint has a tradition of marking significant events in history. Recent coins include a Red Arrows 50p, a Stories of the Second World War 50p and an 80th Anniversary of D-Day 50p.

薄荷具有標誌著歷史上重大事件的傳統。最近的硬幣包括紅色箭頭50便士，第二次世界大戰50便士的故事以及D-Day 50p的80週年。
