A prominent colored red poppy, symbolic of remembrance, is superimposed over the central field. The denomination FIVE POUNDS is inscribed along the lower portion of the design, with the legend D-DAY LANDING arcing above. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Gibraltar's commemorative output in the early 2000s was prolific to the point of exhaustion, but the D-Day sixtieth anniversary provided genuine occasion. The landings of 6 June 1944 involved Gibraltar directly as a staging and coordination hub — Force H operated from the Rock, and the colony's dockyard processed substantial Allied naval traffic throughout the Northwest Africa and Mediterranean campaigns that preceded Overlord.
KM#1170 was struck by the Pobjoy Mint under license, as was standard practice for Gibraltar issues of this period.
