Item description from seller

Two Victoria cross fifty pence piece coins. One featuring two depictions of medals the other a soldier carrying another wounded soldier. The obverse side of each coin features a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II by Ian Rank-Broadley. Established on 29th January 1856 for British and Commonwealth servicemen and women who have demonstrated 'most conspicuous bravery, or some daring or pre-eminent act of valour or self-sacrifice, or extreme devotion to duty in the presence of the enemy', the Victoria Cross is the highest and most prestigious medal in the British honours system. The VC was conceived during the Crimean War (1853-56), where the combined British, French and Ottomon armies drove the Russians out of Sebastopol and the Black Sea. The War is widely regarded as a turning point in modern warfare where industrial tactics started to come to the fore, and with them very high casualty and injury rates. + 8½'' x 5'' Victoria Cross 1856 - 2006 Royal Mail First Day Cover | one cachet insert featuring William Leefe Robinson V.C. who was the first British pilot to shoot down a German airship over Britain during the First World War and was the first man to be awarded the V.C. for a deed over the United Kingdom. Member of the P.B.F.A. VICTORIA CROSS AWARDS.
