该设计以和平和铭文为“和平善意”，向1945年5月在欧洲获得和平的一代人的勇气，牺牲和韧性表示敬意。

The coin, which is now available to buy from the Mint’s website, will be available in a range of finishes, from brilliant uncirculated versions to silver and gold.

现在可以从Mint的网站购买的硬币将以各种饰面提供，从出色的未流通版本到银色和金色。

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

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

为了纪念新设计的推出，薄荷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。

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.

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。”

The Taxi Charity provides outings and social events for veterans of World War II and the Korean War, and the guests were able to meet some of the chauffeurs who volunteer their time and Classic London Taxis to transport veterans to events and outings.

出租车慈善机构为第二次世界大战和朝鲜战争的退伍军人提供了郊游和社交活动，客人能够遇到一些志愿服务时间的司机和经典的伦敦出租车，以将退伍军人运送到活动和郊游。

The chauffeurs also shared their own family stories of service in the war.

司机还分享了他们在战争中服务的家庭故事。

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”。

He added: “It was a privilege to meet the chauffeurs and hear their stories of service. We are grateful to the Royal Mint for inviting us and for the work they do to keep British history alive.”

他补充说：“与司机见面并听取他们的服务故事是一种荣幸。我们感谢皇家造币厂邀请我们以及他们为使英国历史保持活力所做的工作。”

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 Day Coin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赢得第一批硬币之一。
