80th Anniversary Of D-day

Eighty years ago, on 6 June 1944, the heavily fortified beaches of Normandy in Occupied France became a site of heroism, heartbreak and timeless courage. On D-Day, at H-Hour, some 160,000 Allied troops, aided by 5,000 ships and 11,000 aircraft, began the greatest amphibious assault in history. Code-named Operation Overlord, weather conditions on the cold, choppy English Channel forced delays. Yet, it did not dampen the determination of our "Greatest Generation" of heroes as their undaunted courage made victory possible, ensuring our freedom for years to come. And now, with this collection of D-Day coins you can salute this milestone anniversary and the daring heroes who turned the tide of the war. Introducing the 80th Anniversary of D-Day Proof Coin Collection, available exclusively from The Bradford Exchange Mint. The collection begins with Issue One, 80th Anniversary of D-Day.

Privately minted and plated in rich 24K gold, each Proof coin in this collection tells the story of D-Day and the ultimate liberation of Europe. The fronts showcase photographic imagery of Allied troops, while the backs feature sculpted artwork and specially selected quotes. Adding to the historical significance, a sculpted battle map showcasing actual sand from the Normandy beaches in France is displayed on the front of Issue One! This Proof coin arrives in coveted Proof condition, secured within crystal-clear holders to preserve their meaning and value for years ahead. In tribute to this historic occasion, The Bradford Exchange Mint has made a donation to the National D-Day Memorial, honoring all those who served in our military on D-Day and during World War II.
