Gold Tenth-Ounce 2024 D-Day Anniversary, Coin from United Kingdom
CoinGold Tenth-Ounce 2024 D-Day Anniversary

Like many other mints, the Royal Mint issues bullion coins in precious metals, having much higher intrinsic value than their face value. The one-tenth ounce (1/10 oz) gold coins are denominated as Ten Pounds (£10) and have been issued since 1987.

These coins are legal tender but are not intended for circulation. They are targeted at bullion investors or collectors who appreciate the special editions as pieces of art. The coins are typically "one-year" types usually issued in parallel with other denominations with the same reverse designs.

This commemorative coin marks the 80th Anniversary of D-Day.

On 6 June 1944, more than 132,000 Allied troops stormed five beaches held by the German army on the Normandy coastline in France, the outcome of which helped turn the tide of the Second World War.

The design of the coin was developed with the assistance of Imperial War Museums (IWM).
