| Obverse description | A spiral arrangement of flags representing all Allied nations that participated in the D-Day landings by land, sea, and air forms the central motif of the obverse. The flags radiate outward in a dynamic, stylized composition occupying most of the field. Below the flag spiral, a row of five-pointed stars references the milestones of the Voie de la Liberté, marking the route of the American 3rd Army from the Normandy beaches through France to Luxembourg. The denomination '1/4 EURO' appears prominently in the field, accompanied by the French Republican monogram 'RF'. The upper legend reads '1944 DU D-DAY AU VE-DAY - 80ÈME ANNIVERSAIRE 1945'. |
