Honor the courage and sacrifice of World War II veterans with our exclusive 3-dimensional challenge coin, a heartfelt tribute meticulously hand-colored and polished by Armor Coin. Crafted from solid metal, this 1¾ inch-diameter challenge coin captures the essence of history, packaged in a clear vinyl PVC display pouch for authenticity. The D-Day Normandy Challenge Coin commemorates the bravery of soldiers who fought against evil during World War II. On June 6, 1944, over 160,000 Allied troops stormed the heavily-fortified French coastline, spanning 50 miles, to battle Nazi Germany. With more than 5,000 ships and 13,000 aircraft involved, General Dwight D. Eisenhower described it as a crusade for "full victory." By day's end, the Allies gained a significant foothold in Europe. The challenge coin's front side bears the flags of the main Allied Forces—American, British, Free French, and Canadian—that landed on Normandy's beaches. The reverse artfully portrays U-boats arriving with land forces, paratroopers, and small planes representing airborne operations in the sky. This piece is a testament to soldiers' devotion, inspiring us all. It is a timeless keepsake that pays homage to courageous service and the freedom they ensured worldwide.
