The Battle of the Atlantic was the longest continuous campaign of the Second World War — a gruelling struggle that lasted from the first day of the conflict to the last. British and Allied merchant ships, escorted by Royal Navy corvettes, frigates and destroyers, braved the U-boat wolf packs to carry the vital supplies of food, fuel and munitions that kept Britain in the fight. It was a battle of endurance, courage and sacrifice, fought in the harshest seas on earth by ordinary men doing an extraordinary job.
This gold-plated commemorative pays tribute to the Atlantic Convoys in moving detail. Struck to a Brilliant Uncirculated standard with a proof-like finish, this 32mm piece is plated in 24 carat gold and weighs 10.5 grams — a heartfelt tribute to the merchant seamen and naval crews who never gave up.
Remember their sacrifice with this Britannia at Sea commemorative — order yours before stocks are exhausted.
