Description

Eighty years ago, Allied forces launched the largest amphibious attack in history. On 6th June 1944, known forever as ‘D-Day’, allied troops stormed the beaches of Normandy to establish a foothold in Western Europe and push back the German forces that had occupied it. This massive operation led to the liberation of Western Europe and, ultimately, to the end of the war in Europe.

Now, for the 80th anniversary of D-Day, a commemorative gold double sovereign has been minted.

This new coin is certain to be subject to considerable demand and you have the opportunity to own one right now, at the time of release. Just 320 of these coins are available!

  • Minted to commemorate the 80th anniversary of D-Day, a major anniversary of this decisive action that led to the liberation of Western Europe, and the end of World War Two.
  • For the first time, Britannia and Liberty appear together on a sovereign coin, symbols of freedom in Britain and around the world and of two of the Allied nations that fought together on D-Day.
Britannia and Liberty, symbols of freedom, appear together for the first time on this world-first gold double sovereign

The incredible courage and commitment shown by Allied troops on D-Day will be forever etched in the history books. As these events slip from living memory, the 2024 D-Day 80th Anniversary Sovereign is an important tribute to those who fought for liberty in Europe.

This exceptional coin features Britannia, trident in hand, and Liberty, clasping an olive branch, advancing eastwards. This is the first gold sovereign ever to feature both these personifications of freedom on the one coin. In the background is a flowing coastal motif and on the horizon stands a lighthouse, modelled on that found at Ouistreham, at the eastern side of Sword Beach. Daylight rays expand out from the horizon, symbolising a new dawn and the forthcoming liberation of Europe after D-Day. This new gold sovereign with its world-first design is an exceptional tribute to D-Day, and is likely to be keenly sought by collectors and history enthusiasts alike.

Authorised by Tristan Da Cunha  and approved by the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office and Buckingham Palace, it is a wonderful tribute – the first time that Britannia and Liberty appear together on sovereign coins.
