| Obverse description | The obverse features a composite design incorporating the flags of the Allied nations that participated in the Normandy landings, arranged symmetrically around the central denomination and the initials RF (République Française). The nations represented — France Libre, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Poland, Australia, the United States, Norway, the United Kingdom, Czechoslovakia, Canada, and Belgium — are depicted in a circular arrangement emphasizing Allied unity. A series of stars positioned in the lower field symbolises the Voie de la Liberté, the historic route followed by the American 3rd Army during the liberation of France. The upper legend reads '1944 Du D-DAY au VE-DAY - 80ème Anniversaire 1945', with the denomination '200 EURO' prominently displayed in the central field. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is dedicated to Léon, Second-Master (Second-maître) of the Commando Kieffer, one of the 177 French commandos who landed on Sword Beach on 6 June 1944. The design commemorates his specific service in Normandy and his subsequent participation in operations in the Netherlands, including the amphibious assault at Walcheren and the capture of Vlissingen. His unit continued to conduct raids and combat operations across the western front until the German surrender, at which time they were present on Dutch soil. The inscription 'PAYS-BAS 2025' appears in the field, identifying this coin as the Netherlands-themed issue within the commemorative series. |
