'Armistice' Commemorative Strike

2018 marked a landmark anniversary - the Centenary of the end of the First World War. It was a turning point in world history and changed the face of the 20th century. A conflict unparalleledin its scale, for four long years the major European powers, later joined by America, fought in a life or death struggle that would topple the crowned heads of Europe and re-draw the map of the Continent.

At 11am on the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918 the guns of Europe fell silent after more than four years of war. The problems of war were now replaced by the problem of peace, whilst Germany had not officially surrendered she was asking for a cease-fire.The 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month is now known a Remembrance Day or Armistice Day, and every people across the world gather to remember.

With this stunning commemorative strike, we pay tribute to the lives and the brave men and women who served.
