Around 156,000 Allied troops landed in Normandy on the first day of the D-Day liberation.

Now, 80 years on a stunning Proof £5 coin has been released to commemorate their bravery and heroism.

Struck to a pristine Proof finish, this coin features the iconic Spitfire Mk IX, HMS Warspite and Sherman Firefly Tank representing the Land, Sea, and Air elements of the invasion.

The impressive design by artist, Jean-Michel Girard, is to a level of detail truly fitting for such an historic anniversary.

A worldwide edition limit of just 4995 has been set, which means a sell-out is very likely, especially when you consider the popularity of coins honouring the brave sacrifices of all those who served and helped to end WWII.

And what makes this anniversary even more poignant, is that this is most likely the last major anniversary where the few surviving veterans are able to honour their D-Day comrades and indeed all those that gave their lives in the name of freedom.
