2024 Solomon Islands $5 50-gm Silver 80th Anniversary of D-Day Proof-Like Coin

Silver Coin Pays Tribute To 80th Anniversary Of D-Day

The fate of Europe hung in the balance on June 6, 1944 when American, British, Canadian, and French troops stormed the beaches at Normandy, France in an attempt to free the continent from the iron grip of Nazi Germany during World War II. Failure could well have meant putting off a second invasion for years and allowed Germany to marshal its forces to the Eastern Front and knock Russia out of the war. Fortunately, the Allies were successful and by the end of the day a foothold was established that pierced Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler’s famous Fortress Europe. The D-Day invasion is without a doubt one of the most pivotal events of the 20th Century, and to pay tribute to the 80th Anniversary of the epic battle look no further than this exciting coin!

Unique Plateau Minting Technique

With a design that shows troops heading ashore off the Normandy beaches while a 48-star American flag and Allied aircraft dominate the skies in the background, this coin depicts a heroic scene of Allied soldiers ready to liberate Europe from Nazi tyranny. The coin’s obverse features a quote from General Dwight D. Eisenhower, the Supreme Allied Commander of the Allied Expeditionary Force (SHAEF), and a map of the five landing sites and their code names—Utah, Omaha, Juno, Sword, and Gold—and country responsible for that landing area. In addition, this coin was struck with a plateau minting technique, a rarely used method that results in a flattened area at the apex of a dome-shaped coin. On one side the flattened area features inscriptions that read “1944 – 2024,” “D-DAY,” “80TH ANNIVERSARY,” and “REMEMBER & HONOR.” The flat area on the coin’s obverse shows the effigy of King Charles III.

Gorgeous, Extremely Limited Proof-Like Coin

Not only was the magnificent coin struck in 50 grams of highly pure 99.9% fine silver, but it was minted with a gorgeous Proof-Like (PL) finish. That means that even though it wasn’t struck as a proof coin, its brilliant and reflective fields exhibit a higher-than-normal degree of reflectivity that are reminiscent of a proof coin. It’s also $5 legal tender in the Solomon Islands, a self-governing nation located in in the South Pacific made up of hundreds of islands.
