Victoria Cross: The Medal 50p Coin

2006 · Anniversaries & Historic Events · Commemorative

Price Guide: £3.00

The second of two 2006 designs marking the 150th anniversary of the Victoria Cross, this 50p depicts the medal itself - a bronze cross bearing the words "For Valour" - rather than a scene of the acts of bravery it was instituted to recognise, as its companion "Heroic Acts" design does.

Struck for general circulation, it's a common find popular with collectors interested in military history and medals.
