The Stories Behind the 2020 Coins
Each coin in this set marks an important anniversary or event from 2020:
- King George III £5 – marking 200 years since the death of King George III in 1820, one of Britain’s longest-reigning monarchs.
- VE Day £2 – commemorating the 75th anniversary of Victory in Europe Day, 8 May 1945, when the Second World War ended in Europe.
- Mayflower £2 – celebrating 400 years since the Mayflower set sail from Plymouth in 1620, carrying the Pilgrims to the New World.
- Agatha Christie £2 – marking 100 years since the publication of her first novel, The Mysterious Affair at Styles, in 1920, which introduced the detective Hercule Poirot.
- Team GB 50p – issued to celebrate the British athletes heading to the Tokyo Olympic Games, which were postponed to 2021.
Together they make a fascinating snapshot of the year, and having all five in one presentation box makes this 2020 Datestamp UK specimen set far more appealing than collecting the coins individually. You can find out more about each of these UK coin designs on The Royal Mint website.

Caring for Your Set
Keep the coins in their tamper-proof cases and store the box in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Never try to clean or polish uncirculated coins, as this will permanently damage their original finish and reduce their value.
