1994 D-Day Fifty Pences

Third Portrait on Obverse of 1994 D-Day Commemorative 50 Pence Silver Proof

Reverse of 1994 D-Day Commemorative 50 Pence Silver Proof

Obverse - Third Portrait
All 1994 coins carried the third portrait obverse design by Ian Rank-Broadley.

Reverse
The reverse design is by sculptor John Mills, who can remember 6th June 1944 "Planes of all kinds... were thundering overhead. Wave after wave of machines, all heading in one direction, towards where I knew the seaside to be, south." Of course, he was 50 years younger then, but the inspiration from the design comes partly through having been able to experience the events of the time.
The theme of the reverse depicts ships and planes taking part in the D-Day landings.
