D-Day 2024 UK 50p Silver Piedfort Proof Coin

The Coin Company is proud to present D-Day 2024 UK 50p Silver Piedfort Proof Coin by The Royal Mint.

On D-Day, 6 June 1944, more than 132,000 ground troops and 18,000 paratroopers successfully stormed five assault beaches along the Normandy coastline in France. By gaining a foothold on mainland Europe, the Allies were able to open a second front against Germany that helped turn the tide of the Second World War.

A new commemorative coin range marks the 80th anniversary of D-Day, a moment made more poignant as these events will soon move beyond living memory. The reverse of the coin features a design by acclaimed artist David Lawrence that depicts Allied soldiers risking their lives to wade ashore.
