| Reverse description | Dynamic high-relief depiction of four Allied soldiers advancing across a beach landing, their figures shown in full combat gear — helmets, rifles, and field packs — striding purposefully forward through difficult terrain, evoking the Normandy landings of 6 June 1944. Above the central design, the names of five of the six D-Day beaches are inscribed in a bold arc: UTAH OMAHA GOLD JUNO SWORD, with the date 6 JUNE 1944 immediately below. The large inscription D-DAY dominates the upper field. A continuous repeating microtext legend encircles the entire design in the border, reading · D-DAY 2024 · 1/4 OZ FINE GOLD · 999.9, repeated around the full circumference. |

| Additional information |
Issued to mark the 80th anniversary of the June 1944 Normandy landings, this coin arrives at a moment when the last surviving veterans of D-Day number in the dozens worldwide. The Royal Mint has produced commemorative gold in this weight class consistently since the 1980s, but the quarter-ounce format only became a regular catalog fixture in the 2000s as collector demand for fractional gold grew.
The .9999 fineness distinguishes it from the older Britannia gold standard of .9167, a purity upgrade the Mint adopted for bullion issues in 2013.
