BRAND NEW: UK D-Day 50p REVEALED

2024 marks 80 years since brave allied forced landed on Normandy Beaches in one of the largest military operations in history.

D-Day turned the tide in the second world war, and today, its monumental 80th anniversary is being commemorated on a brand-new UK 50p coin.

Check out the coin below and use our interactive map to discover the intricate design…

Carefully curated by sculptor and artist, David Lawrence, in collaboration with the Imperial War Museum, the coin’s reverse design is the perfect tribute to time that will soon move beyond living memory.

In fact, it is likely one of the last anniversaries where veterans and their families can still honour an incredible moment in British history.

The landings themselves took place at five assault beaches along a 50 mile stretch of the Normandy Coast. They were given the codenames of Utah, Omaha, Gold, Juno and Sword – all of which are inscribed on the bottom of the design.

The coin is available in a range of specifications, including superior Brilliant Uncirculated and limited-edition Silver Proof and Piedfort.

However, some of the most special issues are without a doubt the postmarked coins.

Carefully paired alongside a 1st Class Royal Mail stamp, each cover and DateStamp™ will be postmarked on the 80th Anniversary date, 6th June 2024, and are available for pre-order today.
