Ill., May 21, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The Bradford
Exchange Mint, source for coins of enduring value worldwide,
announces an extraordinary tribute to the "Greatest Generation"
heroes as we mark the 80th anniversary of D-Day.
D-Day — 6 June 1944 — over 150,000
heroic Allied forces from Canada,
the United States, the
United Kingdom, and 10 other
nations participated in the largest air, land and amphibious
assault of the 20th century. Code-named "Operation
Overload", the success of the monumental D-Day mission led to
European victory in World War II. Now, as we approach the 80th
anniversary of that unforgettable day of heroism, heartbreak, and
timeless courage a limited edition Silver masterpiece has been
created. An intricately sculpted and oversized Silver ingot,
containing 2 troy ounces of 99.9% pure Silver, portrays three
courageous Allied soldiers storming the beaches at Normandy on the
front. In addition, a quote from the Supreme Allied Commander,
General Dwight D. Eisenhower, states
"The Free Men of the World are Marching to Victory" is
engraved at the bottom.
GENUINE WORLD WAR II-ERA 90% SILVER
