On 28th December 1940, during the blitz, the German air force dropped 22,000 fire-bombs on London. This destroyed large parts of the city including residential areas. People in London sheltered from the bombs either in underground railway stations or in millions of Anderson Shelters - corrugated iron huts partially burried in the ground.
This ORIGINAL bronze George VI half-penny is attached to a card with an image of families in London hiding in an underground station on the front and historical information on the reverse.
The exact date of the coin may vary, but will be from the WW2 period.
