During the years of World War One, the British government recognised the need to acknowledge the sacrifice of the fallen in a tangible way for the families of those left behind. The Dead Man’s Penny was given to the loved ones throughout the British Empire with heartfelt thanks from King George V. The Penny remains one of the defining commemorative tributes to the fallen as powerfully moving as Lt. Col. John McCrae’s poppies or Laurence Binyon’s For the Fallen verse. Recreated in shimmering, layered 24-carat gold, the 'Dead Man’s Replica Penny Golden Commemorative' honours those who sacrificed their tomorrows so the we can live in the freedom of today.
The Dead Man’s Penny’s design is a remarkable union of symbolism and national spirit. Lady Britannia, the spirit of the British Isles, commands dolphins and a lion, two more expressions of Britain’s might. They tower over a fallen eagle, a metaphor conveying Germany’s defeat. Our recreation captures the power of this scene in the gleam of layered 24-carat gold. The detail is rich, compelling and masterfully recreated. The moving words 'He died for freedom and honour' and 'Lest We Forget' confirm the strength of character of those who fell. A stirring portrait of King George V graces the obverse side, a recreation of WWI British coinage to complete this contemporary tribute to the Dead Man’s Penny.
The 65mm diameter of the Dead Man’s Replica Penny Golden Commemorative is a particularity complex size to strike. Proof-quality coining dies create its polished, mirror-like fields and raised imagery. The coin arrives sealed for heirloom protection in a crystal-clear capsule. It arrives in a museum-quality presentation box accompanied by a numbered Certificate of Authenticity which outlines in heritage.
