The Royal Mint has unveiled a commemorative coin marking 80 years since the D-Day landings. The design of the reverse side of the 50p coin was revealed ahead of the anniversary on June 6.
Designed by David Lawrence with support from Imperial War Museums, the coin depicts Allied soldiers disembarking a landing craft onto the beaches of Normandy, with offensive aircraft soaring in the sky above. The coin design features the inscription: “D-Day 6 June 1944 Utah Omaha Gold Juno Sword.” The obverse side of the coin showcases the official coinage portrait of King Charles.
