The Handley Page Halifax was one of the great four-engined heavy bombers of the Second World War, flying alongside the Lancaster in RAF Bomber Command's relentless strategic campaign over occupied Europe. More than six thousand were built, and the Halifax served in a remarkable range of roles — from night bombing and maritime patrol to glider towing and covert supply drops to resistance forces behind enemy lines. Tough, adaptable and ever-present, the Halifax was the backbone of many of Bomber Command's most dangerous missions.
This silver-plated commemorative honours the Halifax in impressive detail. Struck to a Brilliant Uncirculated standard with a proof-like finish, this 32mm piece is plated in .999 fine silver and weighs 10.5 grams — a fitting tribute to the versatile workhorse of Bomber Command.
