Remembrance Day (sometimes known informally as Poppy Day) is a memorial day observed in Commonwealth of Nations member states since the end of the First World War to remember the members of their armed forces who have died in the line of duty. Following a tradition inaugurated by King George V in 1919, the day is also marked by war remembrances in many non-Commonwealth countries. Remembrance Day is observed on 11 November in most countries to recall the end of hostilities of World War I on that date in 1918.
Traditionally struck as an Alderney coin, the first official UK Remembrance Day £5 coin features colour printing, usually reserved for Proof coins, and has been finished to Brilliant Uncirculated standard. The coin is presented in a vivid fold-out wallet exploring remembrance traditions, and a donation from every purchase is made to Imperial War Museums to support their valuable work.
