| Additional information |
Issued on the 60th anniversary of the Normandy landings, this piece is one of several gold commemoratives released by the British Virgin Islands under license arrangements typical of the collector-coin industry — the BVI itself had no direct connection to D-Day. The territory has long served as an issuing jurisdiction for third-party mints targeting the commemorative market, with the Crown acting as nominal authority.
