| Reverse description | Dynamic battle scene depicting three Allied soldiers in steel helmets and full combat kit advancing from a landing craft ramp onto the Normandy beaches, rifles at the ready, with the coastline and defensive obstacles visible in the right background. The legend D-DAY arcs boldly across the upper field, flanked by the date 6 JUNE 1944 along the right. The names of the five D-Day landing beaches — UTAH, OMAHA, GOLD, JUNO, SWORD — are inscribed in a single line along the lower field. |

| Additional information |
The 80th anniversary of the Normandy landings fell in June 2024, and the Royal Mint issued across multiple metals simultaneously — this gold piece being the smallest in the range. At 8 mm, it is among the tiniest circulating-denomination struck gold proofs the Mint has produced in recent memory, a size dictated by the fractional bullion format rather than any ceremonial intention.
