Description: This listing is for an increasingly Hard to Find £2 (two pound) commemorative coin celebrating the survival of St Paul’s Cathedral during the fire bombing of London and the subsequent coming of peace in 1945. The Second World War brought devastation to British cities. But while London burned St Paul’s miraculously escaped destruction. Its Dome, according to The Times: “seeming to ride the sea of fire like a great ship. Serene and comparatively unscathed amid a city in flames, the great Cathedral survived to become a symbol of hope to a beleaguered nation”. And it was this iconic image of St Paul’s Cathedral during the Blitz that had such an impact on Robert Elderton as he undertook his research for a suitable design. The design depicts St Paul's Cathedral illuminated by searchlights and the value 'TWO POUNDS' above and the dates 1945-2005 below. The edge inscription is “In Victory Magnanimity in Peace Goodwill”. In great circulated condition. Please check the photos which are of the actual coin that you will receive and are an important part of the listing.
