Defenders of the Realm The Blitz Silver Plated BU Commemorative
The Blitz tested the spirit of the British people as nothing had before. For eight terrifying months from September 1940, the Luftwaffe rained bombs on London and cities across Britain, killing over 43,000 civilians and destroying more than a million homes. Yet from the rubble emerged a defiance that astonished the world — families sheltered in Underground stations, firefighters battled infernos night after night, and the famous Blitz spirit of resilience, humour, and solidarity became a defining chapter of the British character.This silver-plated commemorative honours The Blitz in powerful, evocative 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 shining tribute to the civilians who refused to be broken.Stand defiant — add this stirring piece to your Defenders of the Realm collection before it disappears from the shelves.
