LONDON: Britain’s Royal Mint has launched a coin marking next month’s 80th anniversary of the 1944 D-Day landings, when 150,000 Allied soldiers invaded France to drive out the forces of Nazi Germany. Designed by artist David Lawrence with support from Imperial War Museums, the 50 pence coin, equivalent to around 60 cents, depicts Allied soldiers disembarking onto a beach in Normandy as war planes fly above.
