The VE Day Proof 5 Cent Coin and Medallion Set, a 2005 Commemorative Set from Canada.

The Royal Canadian Mint celebrates the 60th anniversary of Victory in Europe with this special commemorative set featuring a sterling silver proof 5 cent coin and a bronze medallion with the "Land, Air and Sea forces" design.

Worldwide celebrations for Victory in Europe spanned the week of May 8, 1945. In England King George VI and his family, along with Winston Churchill, saluted thousands from the balcony of Buckingham Palace. Time Squares, New York, saw the largest daytime gathering of people in its history while thousands of women hugged and kissed elated servicemen. Sixty years later, revisit that pivotal moment in history with this special collectible set that recaptures the spirit of that wartime era.

Includes a bronze medallion with the late King George VI on the obverse, "Historical account of Victory in Europe", a 36-page illustrated booklet, and an embossed souvenir tin.
