The coin honours the 14,000 Canadians who were among the 150,000 Allied troops that landed on June 6, 1944, and salutes the forces that supported them by air and sea. The design is charged with tense anticipation as Canadian soldiers peer from their landing craft en route to Juno Beach. This compelling landing craft perspective extends beyond the inner core to the outer ring where naval and air forces support the Allied landings. D-DAY/LE JOUR J is engraved above the soldiers' helmets. At the bottom, the words REMEMBER/SOUVENIR flank 2019.
