The goal was to liberate France -- and, eventually, all of Western Europe -- from Nazi occupation. Despite heavy resistance, 135,000 men landed in a single day, changing the course of the war and cementing the 1944 Normandy landing as the largest seaborne invasion in history. Now known colloquially as D-Day (after the military term), the Normandy landings marked the beginning of the end for the Axis powers. Allied victory was no longer a question of if, but when.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1994 marked the 50th anniversary of this momentous historical event. This commemorative 50-pence piece comes in a full-colour informational brochure with COA. The dynamic design is the work of John Mills, who based it on his boyhood recollections of D-Day.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePlease note, this item is in great condition given its age, but it does show some signs of light wear along edges and corners.","brand":"Colonial Acres Coins","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53692920070433,"sku":"Oct.Week4.P1-KB3086","price":19.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/1744\/7457\/files\/KB3086.jpg?v=1792774835","url":"https:\/\/www.colonialacres.com\/products\/octw4-kb3086","provider":"Colonial Acres Coins","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
