Cook Islands has issued commemorative gold under its own authority since the 1970s, despite having no domestic gold mining and a population under 20,000 — the licensing of its name to foreign bullion programs is a straightforward revenue exercise. This piece marks the 80th anniversary of Operation Overlord and the subsequent Normandy campaign, the largest amphibious assault in military history, which by late August 1944 had resulted in the liberation of Paris and the effective collapse of German Army Group B in the west.
