Britain 50 pence WWII Operations D-Day Aviation PR70 PCGS silver coin 2009

The 2009 Great Britain 50 Pence silver coin “D-Day Landings” commemorates the 60th anniversary of Operation Overlord, the largest amphibious invasion in history, launched on 6 June 1944. The reverse, designed by David Cornell, depicts a dramatic wartime scene — waves of Allied aircraft and gliders flying over a fleet of landing craft approaching the Normandy beaches, symbolizing the immense coordination of air, land, and sea forces that turned the tide of World War II. The inscription “50 PENCE” appears on the lower right, set against a backdrop of stylized sea waves and aircraft formations. The obverse features the portrait of Queen Elizabeth II by Ian Rank-Broadley, surrounded by the legend “ELIZABETH·II·D·G·REG·F·D·2009”. Struck in proof silver and graded PCGS PR70DCAM, this coin stands as a tribute to the bravery and unity of those who fought to liberate Europe during World War II.
