2024 British Isles 80th Anniversary of D-Day £5 Gold Coin

A brand-new British Isles commemoration for the 80th Anniversary of D Day

On the 6 June the world will mark the 80th anniversary of the Normandy Landings – D-Day. Over 150,000 troops from Canada, the United States and the United Kingdom landed on five beaches along a 50 mile stretch of the heavily fortified coast of France’s Normandy region – an assault that would be the most significant step towards final victory over Nazi Germany less than 12 months later.

Commemorative releases

Across the world commemorative issues have been or are due to be released – marking this historic military triumph. One of the key releases for the 80th Anniversary is the new British Isles 24 Carat Gold Coin struck to an immaculate proof finish and approved by Buckingham Palace that we can offer you the opportunity to secure today.

The new coin also features a new reverse design produced specially for the 80th Anniversary commemorations – which shows soldiers landing on the beach at Normandy. This is combined with the portrait of King Charles III on the obverse that is the work of Jody Clark.

Tiny mintage

The importance of this new commemorative coin is heightened further still by the size of the mintage. Just a total of 4,999 gold coins have been issued to mark the 80th Anniversary of D-Day. With the significance of this key commemoration, this mintage is expected to sell out swiftly.

The good news is that Harrington & Byrne was able to quickly agree an exclusive allocation for our collectors of this brand new 80th Anniversary D-Day British Isles Gold Coin. Therefore, you are now in the perfect position, as a valued collector with us, to secure this coin – a key release for this significant anniversary.

Key anniversary for 2024

It is important to remember the huge significance of the D Day invasion. Many months in planning as troops gathered across Southern Britain in preparation, it would create the second front against Nazi Germany in Europe and would lay the foundations for final victory on the continent a year later.

Over 150,000 men took part in the daring invasion – code named Operation Overlord – including an airborne assault that occurred before the seaborne troops reached the shore. 80 years later it is important we continue to remember the bravery, and in many cases the ultimate sacrifice, of all the troops involved in this unparalleled military success.
