Queen Elizabeth II £5: 2020 Remembrance Day

Years of issue:

2020

Coin Information:

This Remembrance £5 coin has been issued in 2020 to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the ceremonial burial of the Unknown Warrior – the unidentifiable British soldier who was brought home from France in 1920 for ceremonial burial in honour of all those lost in the First World War. Natasha Preece’s design of this coin pays dedication to the Unknown Warrior, with a silhouette of a sombre soldier with head hung low in reflection, set on a sea of poppies. This very poignant £5 coin also features selected colour printing, highlighting the details of the poppies and accentuating the silhouette of the warrior. The obverse of this coin features the fifth portrait of HM QEII by Jody Clark.
