Tower Mint’s inaugural release on behalf of the Falkland Islands introduces a bullion coin series dedicated to Remembrance Day. This national day of reflection honors those who lost their lives in service, with particular significance tied to the Falklands War of 1982, a conflict that claimed 907 lives. To commemorate this solemn observance, Tower Mint has issued gold and silver coins featuring the symbolic Angel of Mons.

The obverse of the coin features a portrait of King Charles III, presented in a left-facing profile without a crown. This design reflects the modern sovereign effigy while reinforcing the Falkland Islands’ enduring constitutional and cultural ties to Britain. Remembrance Day ceremonies in the Falklands traditionally emphasize this connection, honoring shared military history and sacrifice.
 
On the reverse, the Angel of Mons is depicted standing among a field of poppies, gently resting her hand on the helmet of a kneeling British World War I infantryman. The imagery conveys protection, sacrifice, and remembrance, with the poppies serving as a universal symbol of those lost in war.
 
The Angel of Mons originates from a legendary account dating back to August 1914 during the British retreat from Mons, Belgium. According to popular narratives, supernatural figures appeared to shield British forces from advancing German troops. Over time, the legend evolved into a lasting symbol of hope, divine protection, and resilience in the face of conflict.
 
In the Falkland Islands, Remembrance Day is observed each year on November 11th, with islanders gathering at the Cross of Sacrifice in Stanley to honor those who fell in the World Wars and the Falklands War. This 2025 Silver Remembrance Day Coin serves as both a tribute to that legacy and a meaningful addition to any silver collection.
