| Aanvullende informatie |
Gibraltar's "Road to Victory" series, launched around the 75th anniversary commemorations of 1944, issued multiple denominations tied to specific Second World War engagements. The D-Day landing on 6 June 1944 involved roughly 156,000 Allied troops crossing the Channel — the largest seaborne invasion in history — coordinated under Operation Overlord after two years of logistical planning and a deliberate deception campaign, Operation Bodyguard, designed to convince German command the primary assault would fall at Pas-de-Calais.
Gibraltar's own wartime role was considerable: the Rock served as a staging and command hub for Operation Torch in 1942, making it a geographically and historically plausible issuer for this type of commemorative.
