| D-Day Walking Liberty Half Dollar |
D-Day (June 6, 1944) was a turning point of World War II. The Allied forces
under Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower crossed the English Channel from
England to France, surprising the Germans and forcing them into retreat. It
was the greatest amphibious landing in history, with 4,000 ships and
landing craft ferrying 150,000 men and their equipment. By July 1, about 1
million men had been landed in the American and British zones.
From this point onwards, the Allies had the advantage in the war and
pressed onwards towards the liberation of Paris in August and the fall of
Nazi Germany and the end of World War II in Europe in 1945.
This Walking Liberty Silver Half Dollar was minted in 1944 and symbolizes
the historic D-Day invasion.
