Reverse description The reverse commemorates the 80th anniversary of D-Day, 6 June 1944. The copper-nickel center disc features a relief map of the English Channel coastline with the inscription JUNE 6 1944 across the upper field, overlaid by a bold typographic composition of key words drawn from General Dwight D. Eisenhower's Order of the Day: SUPREME TEST, CHALLENGE, FIGHT, and VICTORY, rendered in varying scales for dramatic effect. The full quotation — ONCE MORE A SUPREME TEST HAS TO BE FACED · THIS TIME THE CHALLENGE IS NOT TO FIGHT TO SURVIVE BUT TO FIGHT TO WIN THE FINAL VICTORY FOR THE GOOD CAUSE — appears in full across both the center and the nickel brass outer ring. The legend D-DAY is prominently displayed at the top of the outer ring, with FOR THE GOOD CAUSE at the base. A small engraver's privy mark is visible in the lower center field.
