Day D, Normandy Landing

Landing in Normandy - the initial phase of operation Overlord, the largest landing operation in the history of wars in terms of forces and means used. It was aimed at opening the so-called Second Front in Western Europe. The operation was conducted on Tuesday, June 6, 1944 under the command of General Eisenhower, and the core of the invading forces were American, British and Canadian armies. It is worth mentioning that the invasion was preceded by Operation Fortitude, thanks to which the Allies encountered much less resistance from the Nazi army.  Each coin is in the shape of a bullet, which consists of two parts weighing 15.5 grams.
