A limited edition £5 coin with a striking poppy motif has been released by the Royal Mint to commemorate the First World War centenary.
The striking sterling silver Alderney Remembrance Coin shows falling poppies and carries the inscription "Remember the fallen".
Just 2,014 of the coins, designed by Laura Clancy, have been made and a donation from each sale will go to the Imperial War Museum.

Shane Bissett, the Royal Mint's director of commemorative coin, medals and bullion, said: "The centenary of the outbreak of the First World War makes this year's Remembrance Day all the more poignant, and is a fitting reason to create this brand new design for the 2014 Remembrance coin."
