| Reverse description | A World War II Allied paratrooper descending by parachute is depicted in dynamic relief, rendered in a dramatic diagonal composition evoking the airborne landings of D-Day, 6 June 1944. The figure is fully equipped with combat gear and a rifle, with parachute lines extending across the upper field. In the background to the right, a Gothic-style church — reminiscent of the Norman churches of Normandy — anchors the scene with architectural detail. The reverse commemorates Operation Overlord and the D-Day landings, with the inscription 01.20 appearing in the field to the right, referencing the specific operation designation. |
