War Poppy Collection Coin – Jacqueline Hurley

A Moving Tribute from the War Poppy Collection

The War Poppy Collection by British artist Jacqueline Hurley honours those who served and sacrificed. This Symbol of Remembrance Edition celebrates that legacy with craft, emotion, and depth. The poem “In Flanders Fields” inspired the design, and the result blends poetry and art in a powerful tribute.

Jacqueline Hurley’s artwork captures the raw emotion of remembrance. The poppy at the centre is hand-crafted in acrylic, and the paint includes genuine soil from the Somme battlefield. Because of this detail, every coin forms a direct link to history and the people it remembers. Moreover, the size and finish give the poppy a vivid, almost sculptural presence.

Design, Craftsmanship, and Meaning

The surrounding band uses 24 ct gold plate and bears engraved lines from “In Flanders Fields.” This choice adds depth and symbolism while it enhances the contrast between gold and scarlet. In addition, the matt gold finish softens the shine, so the poppy and the engraved wording take centre stage. Consequently, the coin reads clearly from every angle and displays with authority.

Each commemorative coin measures 75 mm in diameter, 10 mm in depth, and weighs 208 g. Therefore, the details shine, the weight feels substantial, and the piece sits confidently in a cabinet or on a desk. Because the proof-quality surfaces reflect light beautifully, the textures and lettering stand out with clarity.

Limited Edition Presentation

The coin arrives in its official presentation case with a Certificate of Authenticity. Only 1,999 pieces exist worldwide, so collectors enjoy genuine scarcity and strong story value. Furthermore, the complete package — artwork, materials, and provenance — makes a meaningful gift as well as a standout display piece.
