Commemorate one of the most pivotal moments in world history with the D-Day: Operation Neptune & The Allied Invasion of Normandy 5-Piece Album. On June 6, 1944, Allied forces under General Dwight D. Eisenhower launched the largest and most complex amphibious operation ever attempted, forever changing the course of World War II in Europe. This historic landing involved 5,000 ships, 11,000 planes, and 150,000 men, securing a crucial foothold in Normandy.

In January 1944, Eisenhower took command of Operation Neptune, carefully planning the invasion and orchestrating a massive disinformation campaign to mislead Hitler. Despite a 24-hour weather delay, the Allies struck at Normandy while German forces were caught off guard, with top commanders like General Erwin Rommel away from the battlefield. This strategic brilliance ensured the element of surprise and laid the foundation for victory in Europe.

The invasion began with paratroopers dropped inland to secure the flanks, followed by hundreds of amphibious ships crossing the English Channel. At sunrise, six full divisions—three American, two British, and one Canadian—stormed the beaches at Utah, Omaha, Gold, Juno, and Sword. By the end of the day, the beachhead was secured, allowing the Allies to pour troops and resources into France, ultimately leading to the liberation of Paris and the downfall of Nazi Germany.

This remarkable 5-piece collection features four coins that circulated in 1944—a U.S. penny, a Canadian “V” nickel made of chrome-plated steel, a British penny, and a zinc 5 pfennig of Nazi Germany—alongside a 5-franc Allied Military Currency note used in France immediately after liberation. Each piece serves as a tangible link to the dramatic events of D-Day and the Allied victory in Europe.
