D-Day: New coin marks 80 years since 1944 landings

The coin depicts Allied soldiers disembarking a landing craft, with the portrait of King Charles III on the other side.

To celebrate the unveiling, the coin’s design was recreated in the sand on Gold beach, in France, where troops landed in 1944.

At 35 metres (115ft) across, the sand art took more than five hours to create.

French sand artist Jehan-Benjamin Tarain, who created the art with fellow artist Sam Dougados, said the project had been “extremely special”.

“This collaboration plays an important reminder of the united allied effort between French and British forces 80 years ago,” he said.
