A single veteran on Normandy Beach, depicted in both June 1944 and June 2024.
On the left, the young soldier stands in his World War II uniform amidst the invasion's chaos, with landing craft visible in the distance. On the right, the same man, now 80 years older, returns to the peaceful, war-free sands.
At the coin's centre, a Royal British Legion poppy symbolises remembrance and honours those who sacrificed their lives.
