| Reverse description | Central design featuring a series of bold arrows directed across the English Channel from the English coast toward the beaches of Normandy, France, each arrow bearing the code name of one of the five Allied landing beaches: UTAH, OMAHA, GOLD, JUNO, and SWORD. The composition powerfully evokes the coordinated amphibious assault of 6 June 1944. The commemorative legend D-DAY: 75TH ANNIVERSARY arcs above the design, while the date 2019 and the designer's initials ST appear in the lower field. |

| Additional information |
The 75th anniversary of the Normandy landings in June 2019 drew the largest gathering of world leaders at a D-Day commemoration in decades, with seventeen heads of state attending the Portsmouth ceremony. The Royal Mint issued several pieces tied to the occasion, this being among the smaller-format silver proofs in that release program.
Spink's K55 reference places it within the Kingdom series of modern commemoratives — a classification that reflects issuing authority rather than anything about the coin's collectibility or distribution.
