Special Features:
• A tribute to the paratroopers. More than a commemoration, this kilo coin is a fine silver salute to the Canadian paratroopers who risked it all on D-Day and all the battles that followed.
• Ground-breaking art. The heart-thumping reverse drops you into the action and captures the intensity of the moment just before the fateful jump. It gives a sense of the dangers of the mission, and brings renewed appreciation for the bravery of these Canadian paratroopers.
• Part of a year-long journey of remembrance. This time, the reverse is a flashback to an event that preceded the landings on Juno Beach. Each D-Day commemorative coin reveals a different chapter in the story of Canada in the Battle of Normandy. And the story continues on the 2019 Battlefront coin.
