6 August 1945

On 6 August 1945 the American B-29 bomber Enola Gay dropped the atomic bomb \"Little Boy\" on Hiroshima. The explosion destroyed the city and killed tens of thousands of people in an instant – the first use of a nuclear weapon against a population in history.

The Human Tragedies series

The Human Tragedies series commemorates events that changed history forever – as a warning for future generations.

Coin design

The reverse shows the view through a bomber's cockpit window: below stretches the street grid of Hiroshima, and a bomb falls towards the city. Industrial, cold relief and an antique finish emphasise the horror of the moment. HIROSHIMA is inscribed at the top.

Packaging

The coin comes in a box with a certificate of authenticity.

A gift idea
