Located off the coast of Normandy, France, Alderney serves as a resilient symbol of wartime history and proudly issues this commemorative D-Day 80th anniversary coin to honor the valor and sacrifice of those who fought for freedom. Alderney was occupied by German forces from June 1940 until May 1945. The island was transformed into a heavily fortified military base, with substantial changes to its landscape and infrastructure.
In addition to the hardships suffered by the island’s population, with its 1,500 residents evacuated to mainland Britain prior to June 1940, the island was forever changed by the German occupation. The construction of military defenses and camps led to significant environmental and structural changes on the island. Many buildings were destroyed or repurposed for military use.
The obverse of the 2024 1 oz Silver D-Day 80th Anniversary Coins showcases a striking portrait of King Charles III, masterfully crafted by acclaimed artist Jody Clark, reflecting the monarch’s steadfast resolve amidst adversity. Notably, the absence of a crown underscores the gravity of the wartime era.
On the reverse, the 2024 Silver Alderney D-Day 80th Anniversary Coins immortalizes the historic moment of Allied troops storming the beaches of Normandy, a pivotal event that marked the beginning of the end for Nazi tyranny in Europe. In addition to the beach landings, the Allies conducted large-scale airborne operations behind enemy lines. These involved paratroopers and glider-borne troops dropping inland to secure key objectives, disrupt German defenses, and establish communication lines.
These 2024 1 oz Silver Alderney D-Day 80th Anniversary Coins are individually packaged in plastic flips, with multiples available in tubes of 20 coins or boxes of 500 coins. The Master Box holds a total of 25 tubes of coins.
