2019 Canada $20 Second World War Battlefront Series - The Normandy Campaign Fine Silver (No Tax)
Canada played a key role in the success of the Allied landings in Normandy ('D-Day'). This is what this 2019 $20 Second World War Battlefront Series - The Normandy Campaign Fine Silver Coin is all about, a celebration of one of Canada's finest wartime moments.
Designed by Brad Anderson, the coin depicts Canadian troops attacking from the beach. It's a welcome addition to your collection if you're fascinated with wartime history.
It began on Juno Beach, and it continued at Buron, Autie, Carpiquet, Caen, Falaise. The D-Day landings of June 6, 1944, were a success. But the costly path to victory in Normandy would take Canada's troops through towns and villages, where they became embroiled in a battle of attrition against some of the enemy's best troops: the elite Panzer divisions. Steeled by combat experience, the wary soldier from the 2019 Proof Dollar is now the image of steely resolve on this 1 oz. pure silver coin. The latest instalment in our Second World War: Battlefront Series commemorates the 75th anniversary of the Normandy Campaign (June 6-August 30, 1944). While your coin shows Canadian troops advancing beyond the beaches, D-Day and the beginning of the Liberation of Western Europe are represented by sound waves that stand in for the "V" for "Victory" radio signal.

Special Features:
• A salute to the Canadians who soldiered on, this 1 oz. fine silver commemorates the 75th anniversary of the Normandy Campaign (June 6-August 30, 1944).
• A soldier's story continues. The infantry soldier's story began on the 2019 Proof Dollar and it continues on this coin's reverse. It is part of a yearlong journey of remembrance that concludes with an ultra-high relief coin.
• Just like previous Second World War coins, the obverse features the period-appropriate effigy of King George VI.
• Complete the series to get each piece of the puzzle: Like previous Second World War: Battlefront Series coins, this finely engraved piece comes enclosed in a clamshell box within a custom beauty box. When placed spine to spine, the beauty boxes for each coin in the series form a timeline of Canada's military role in the Second World War.
• The sound of victory. Since D-Day marked the start of the Normandy Campaign and the Liberation of Western Europe, the air is filled with sound waves that represent "V" for "Victory" in Morse code.
Packaging:
Maroon clamshell with graphic beauty box.
