80 Years of D-Day
The Allied landings, known as D-Day (Jour J in French), represent the first hours of Operation Neptune, itself the initial phase of Operation Overlord, intended to liberate Europe from Nazi occupation.
The landing on 6 June 1944 was a decisive turning point in World War II.
80 years after the Normandy landings, the Monnaie de Paris pays a poignant tribute to the nations and men who participated in the liberation of France and Europe.
