Comment
Numismatic proof set of seven pure silver coins - 75th anniversary of D-Day (2019)A historic burden rested on their shoulders. On June 6, 1944, some 14,000 Canadians launched their assault on Juno Beach during the Allied landings in Normandy. Under heavy fire, the Canadians gained more ground on D-Day than any other contingent in the operation - and while it was a success, it was only the beginning of a long and difficult campaign.
This seven-coin proof numismatic set includes an exclusive gold-plated version of the 2019 proof dollar, which marks the 75th anniversary of D-Day by putting a human face on this pivotal moment in history.
The set has been one of our greatest successes every year since 1971. Continue the tradition by ordering today!
