VE Day，欧洲纪念日的胜利，每年5月8日庆祝第二次世界大战结束。该国将宣布为期四天的音乐会，服务和游行活动，庆祝VE Day成立80周年 - 现在，这些新硬币。

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硬币设计的特色是一件和平的鸽子，这些硬币将从5月1日星期四上午9点从薄荷网站购买。该设计最初出现在1995年的2英镑上，标志着第二次世界大战结束以来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.

这些新硬币和“和平善意”的铭文将以银色和黄金在内的一系列饰面提供。 2025年5月8日，即VE日80周年，薄荷也将击中该硬币的特殊黄金版。

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.

为了庆祝新硬币的发射，皇家造币厂邀请了从出租车慈善机构的军人退伍军人到其场所的客人。 98岁的退伍军人罗恩·马西（Ron Horsey）和101岁的理查德·佩尔泽（Richard Pelzer）都来自斯旺西（Swansea），并与皇家工程师（Royal Engineers）一起服务，他们在南威尔士（South Wales）的制造厂进行了幕后巡回演出，并被邀请参加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先生说：“我为能够被邀请到皇家造币厂袭击这枚硬币感到非常自豪。Day对我和其他许多人的意义都具有这种意义，并且能够在这些年以后能够实现这一设计代表和平的硬币。

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

“我希望这种硬币能使人们想起我们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”.

出租车慈善机构副总裁迪克·古德温（Dick Goodwin）将这次访问描述为“美好的经历”。

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.”

皇家造币厂纪念硬币主任丽贝卡·摩根（Rebecca Morgan）表示：“ VE日硬币向1945年5月在欧洲获得和平的勇气，牺牲和韧性表示敬意，这很合适，欢迎Ron和Richard来袭击第一批硬币之一。”

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.

皇家造币厂经常标志着历史上的重大事件，例如最近的红色箭头50p，第二次世界大战50p的故事和D-Day 50p的80周年。

Prices for the new 50p coin will start at £14.50 for a brilliant uncirculated version to £1,725 for a gold coin struck on May 8. A 10-coin 80th anniversary of VE Day set will also be available for £1,640.
