The 2024 RBL D-Day Poppy Proof £5
Each year, Remembrance Sunday provides nations across the globe with an opportunity to reflect on those brave men and women who gave their lives fighting for freedom.
But this year is especially poignant as we also commemorate the 80th anniversary of D-Day.
And on this significant anniversary year, you can pay tribute to these D-Day veterans with the Official RBL 2024 D-Day Poppy® Proof £5.
A heartfelt tribute collectors have waited all year for ….
This year's special, one-year-only £5 coin has been produced in partnership and fully approved by the Royal British Legion (RBL).
Struck to a Proof Finish, the coin powerfully portrays a single veteran on Normandy Beach, depicted in both June 1944 and June 2024.
On the left, the young soldier stands in his World War II uniform amidst the invasion's chaos, with landing craft visible in the distance. On the right, the same man, now 80 years older, returns to the peaceful, war-free sands.
This striking contrast captures the passage of time and the lasting impact of D-Day. At the coin's centre, a Royal British Legion poppy® symbolises remembrance and honours those who sacrificed their lives.
Proudly supporting the Royal British Legion
