In 2004, to commemorate the 60th Anniversary of the D-Day Landings, the Royal Mint released on behalf of Guernsey a Limited Issue £5 Five Pound Silver Proof Coin struck in solid .925 Sterling Silver with a colour Poppy.
The obverse has the stunning portrait of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II designed by Ian Rank Broadley.
These legal tender coins have been struck to proof quality using specially prepared dies and highly polished blanks.
