| Reverse description | Full-color applied scene commemorating the D-Day airborne assault on Sainte-Mère-Église, centered on the iconic Norman church rendered in vivid polychrome enamel against a deep blue nocturnal sky. The steeple bears the striking motif of an American paratrooper suspended from his parachute, snagged on the rooftop — referencing the famous episode involving Private John Steele on 6 June 1944. Formations of C-47 transport aircraft and numerous descending parachutes populate the background field. The upper legend 'D-DAY TO VICTORY' arcs within a dark border, while the lower legend '6th JUNE 1944 – 8th MAY 1945' spans the base, defining the commemorated campaign dates. |
