This 2020 British Red Cross £5 coin celebrates the 150th Anniversary. It features bespoke artwork by Henry Gray. The coin bears the words ‘The Power of Kindness’ in prominent positioning beneath the design, illustrating the organisation’s ethos of selflessness, compassion and goodwill. Reinforcing this positive message, the edge inscription also bears a current motto of the Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement, ‘PER HUMANITATEM AD PACEM’, which translates to ‘THROUGH HUMANITY TO PEACE’.
This is the first time the British Red Cross has been commemorated on a UK coin. It is available to buy as a £5 Brilliant Uncirculated Coin, £5 Silver Proof Coin (Limited Edition 4,000), £5 Silver Proof Piedfort Coin (Limited Edition 1,150) and UK £5 Gold Proof Coin (Limited Edition 250).
