The commemorate the anniversary of the Allied Invasion of Europe, the Royal Mint is issuing a limited number if Gold Proof fifty pence coins.
Plans to liberate Europe began in earnest in the spring of 1943,. under the supreme Allied Commander, general Dwight D Eisenhower, the air, sea and land might of Britain, the Commonwealth and the United States as well as units from virtually every occupied country in Europe was to form the largest invasion force ever seen. By the spring of 1944 more than three million men had gathered in Southern England in readiness for the Normandy Landings.
It was realised that an invasion was likely in the summer of 1944 but the exact date and location remained one of the best kept secrets of the War. Thus Operation Overlord, one of the most difficult military operations ever undertaken, was able to begin just after mifnight on 6th June 1944 - in the first hour of the day that would forever be known as D-Day.
The Allied Invasion force filling the sea and sky and heading for Normandy on 6 June 1944 is vivadly captured on this splendid commemorative coin. The design was created by award winning sculptor John Mills and was inspired by his boyhood recollections of that historic day. Looking up at the sky he saw it filled with distinctively marked planes and realised that the invasion of France was underway. Raphael Maklouf's much acclaimed portrait of Her Majesty the Queen graces the obverse. The fity pence coin weighs 26.32 grammes, measures 30.00 millimetres in diameter and is legal tender within the United Kingdom. Struck in 22 carat gold to the finest Proof quality, only 1877 of these superb coins have been issued for worldwide distribution.
