The VE Day 50p coin design features a dove of peace and the coins will be available to buy from the Mint’s website from 9am on Thursday, May 1. The design originally appeared on a 1995 £2, marking 50 years since the end of the Second World War.

VE Day 50p硬幣設計的特色是一件和平的鴿子，這些硬幣將從5月1日星期四上午9點從薄荷網站購買。該設計最初出現在1995年的2英鎊上，標誌著第二次世界大戰結束以來50年。

These new coins, with the inscription “In peace goodwill”, will be available in a range of finishes including silver and gold. On May 8, 2025, the 80th anniversary of VE Day, the Mint will also be striking a special gold edition of the coin.

這些新硬幣和“和平善意”的銘文將以銀色和黃金在內的一系列飾面提供。 2025年5月8日，即VE日80週年，薄荷也將擊中該硬幣的特殊黃金版。

To celebrate the launch of the new coins, the Royal Mint invited guests from the Taxi Charity for Military Veterans to its premises. Veterans Ron Horsey, aged 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.

為了慶祝新硬幣的發射，皇家造幣廠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。 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（South Wales）的製造廠進行了幕後巡迴演出，並被邀請參加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。”

Vice president of the Taxi Charity for Military Veterans 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 Royal Mint often marks significant events in history, such as a recent red arrows 50p, a Stories of the Second World War 50p and an 80th Anniversary of D-Day 50p.

皇家造幣廠經常標誌著歷史上的重大事件，例如最近的紅色箭頭50p，第二次世界大戰50p的故事和D-Day 50p的80週年。
