| Reverse description | Dynamic scene commemorating the D-Day landings of 6 June 1944, depicting Allied soldiers advancing across a beach under fire, rendered in high relief against a frosted background. A group of helmeted infantrymen are shown moving forward with rifles, one soldier prominently carrying a flag, evoking the storming of the Normandy beaches during Operation Overlord. The date 6 JUNE 1944 appears in the upper field within a dark panel, while the inscription OPERATION OVERLORD curves along the lower border within a raised band. The composition captures the heroism and urgency of the historic amphibious assault in a compact but expressive design. |
