coin is dedicated to every NHS Staff member and volunteer
who has put their lives on the line during this incredibly
frightening time. It has been created to recognise those people
and celebrate their bravery and to demonstrate our heartfelt
thanks to each of them. Donating 100% of the profit from each
coin purchased to these important charities is our way to give
something back in return for their sacrifice”.
