2019 Guernsey D-Day Coloured £5 BU Coin in Capsule

Description

Around 156,000 Allied troops landed in Normandy on the first day of the D-Day liberation.

Now, 75 years on a stunning £5 coin has been released to commemorate their bravery and heroism.

The design expertly features the three vehicles used so effectively during the landings – the Cromwell Mk IV tank, an Airspeed Horsa glider and Royal Navy landing craft.

What’s more, these iconic vehicles have been selectively coloured in their military green camouflage, showing off the intricacies of such impressive transportation.
