During the last years we have attended the issuance of multiple currencies, from different countries, in which Red Cross commemorations were held, either nationally or internationally. The last to join these more than deserved tributes is the United Kingdom, where The Royal Mint has just issued several 5-pound coins, with the same design but minted in different metals and qualities, to commemorate the "150th anniversary of the Red Cross British ». A small percentage of the sales of these coins will be donated to the British Red Cross Society, a branch of the Red Cross.

In 1870 the British Red Cross was officially born under the patronage of Queen Victoria. Later that year, the British Red Cross organized its first humanitarian deployment in the Franco-Prussian War.

Today it is made up of 32,500 volunteers and 3,500 employees. Its mission is to provide help to people in need, both in the UK and abroad. The Red Cross is committed to helping people without discrimination, regardless of ethnicity, nationality, political beliefs, or religion.


The coin bears the words "The Power of Kindness'" prominently below the central design, illustrating its altruistic spirit of compassion and goodwill. The legends are completed in the upper semicircle of the coin with the years of foundation and in which the 150th anniversary is celebrated and its name in English «1870. British Red Cross. 2020 ″ · The central motif is a world map as a background, from which the United Kingdom stands out and where the world-famous Red Cross logo is represented on it.


The obverse shows the traditional image of Queen Elizabeth II in a Jody Clark design and the face value of the coin, 5 Pounds (Pounds).
