Built in the U.S. for the Royal Air Force and later adopted by the U.S. Army Air Force, the P-51 Mustang offered innovative aerodynamic design. And when a powerful British engine was added in 1944, it gave the Allies air superiority and spurred the liberation of France. Now, The History of Aviation P-51 90% Silver Piedfort Coin salutes this famed aircraft and its legendary pilots in a first-ever tribute, exclusively from The Bradford Exchange Mint. Minted for us by the world's oldest continuously running mint, the famed Monnaie de Paris in France, this rare silver coin collectible is a thrilling homage to the storied WWII fighter that dominated the skies over Europe and won the war.

Intended as a collector's item, this official legal tender 20 Euro coin is struck in a unique specification of 44.4 grams of 90% fine silver, meriting the prestigious designation of Piedfort, or heavy-weight in French. That is double the weight of a traditional strike! The obverse side of the collectible coin showcases an iconic P-51 Mustang bursting out of the clouds, while the reverse side is emblazoned with pilots and aircraft through history. Plus, the hand-polished minting dies produce mirror-like backgrounds and intricate raised, frosted relief details to highlight the dramatic imagery. Offered in a strict limited edition of only 1,500 coins worldwide, and individually numbered along the edge, this WWII commemorative coin arrives in an original, official Monnaie de Paris display case, and is a must for history fans and collectors.
