On 6 June 1944, a day now known as D-Day, Allied forces embarked on a monumental operation that would determine the course of history. As the Second World War gradually fades from living memory, a new commemorative coin marks the 80th anniversary of D-Day.
To mark the coin’s release, The Royal Mint have collaborated with French sand artist Jehan-Benjamin Tarain to recreate the D-Day 50p coin design on ‘Gold’ beach in Normandy, where nearly 25,000 men of the British 50th Division landed. Head to www.royalmint.....
