In 2004 to commemorate the 60th Anniversary of the D-Day Landings on behalf of Alderney the Royal Mint released a very Limited Issue £10 Ten Pound Silver Proof Coin struck in solid fine .925 Sterling Silver and weighs five ounces of Silver.
The reverse design depicts a scene from D-Day with allied troops storming the Normandy beaches at dawn on 6th June 1944 while the obverse has the stunning portrait of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Ian Rank Broadley.
These legal tender coins have been struck to proof quality using specially prepared dies and highly polished blanks.
