D-Day — 6th June 1944 — was the largest seaborne invasion in history and the beginning of the end of Nazi tyranny in Europe. At dawn, thousands of British, American, and Allied troops stormed the beaches of Normandy under withering fire, supported by paratroopers who had dropped behind enemy lines in the darkness. The courage of those who waded ashore on Gold, Juno, Sword, Omaha, and Utah beaches turned the tide of the Second World War and set the continent on the road to liberation.
This silver-plated commemorative honours D-Day Normandy in breathtaking detail. Struck to a Brilliant Uncirculated standard with a proof-like finish, this 32mm piece is plated in .999 fine silver and weighs 10.5 grams — a shining tribute to the day that changed the course of history.
