Description
Formidable, imposing and resilient, HMS Belfast found itself at the centre of some of the key moments of the Second World War, namely the sinking of the Scharnhorst in 1943 and the Normandy landings in 1944. An iconic vessel steeped in naval history, Belfast was at the centre of events for 25 years serving in the Second World War, Korean War and the Cold War.
Now part of IWM (Imperial War Museums), today the legendary British cruiser takes pride of place on the River Thames as London’s unique warship experience. A fitting tribute to this iconic British vessel, this UK coin is the first of its kind to pay tribute to the legacy of this battle-hardened warrior.
The perfect keepsake for fans of military history, the HMS Belfast 2025 UK Coin features the iconic ship as it appeared in the 1960s, accompanied by the ship’s motto in Latin – ‘PRO · TANTO · QVID · RETRIBVAMVS’ – as the edge inscription.
