Happy V E Day 2020

To mark the occasion here are some Canadian coins, a Canadian meat token from the Second World War and a South African medallion commemorating peace. 

I could add the pennies from Jersey commemorating liberation. 

There was a suggestion in the Second World War that the image of a Spitfire or Hurricane aeroplane should be added to the penny in Britain. there was a galley warship and a lighthouse so why not? what do you think? 

  

We had our first virtual meeting at the weekend courtesy of zoom. Members swapped stories and impressions of lockdown.

A theme was tunnels and these medallions images kindly provided by Charles Riley illustrate this.
the question people are asking in the lockdown is whether this light at the end of the tunnel and of course there is. Collecting goes on, if anything stronger than ever, although we miss fairs and handling coins.
