Comment
Part of the bigger series that include 6 silver plated coins (5x 50p and 5 Pounds) and one smaller gold coin.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it commemorates the 75th anniversary of D-Day, specifically the Juno Beach landings, where Canadian forces played a significant role. The coin's design features a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II on one side and a depiction of a Canadian soldier on Juno Beach on the other. The coin's unique design and historical significance make it a valuable collector's item for those interested in military history and numismatics.
