Description

This story starts over 80 years ago on June 4, 1944, when the allied forces launched “operation overlord” the codename for the Battle of Normandy. Better known as D-Day.

As one of the allied forces, the British Royal Mint, released 1000 80th Anniversary sovereigns.

Pistrucci’s portrayal of the triumph of good over evil has never been more fitting than on this issue.

This coin is significant as it was struck on the 80th anniversary of D-Day, June 6th, 2024, and it bears a D-Day privy mark, a miliary helmet atop the number 80.
