While troops waded ashore at Utah, Gold, Omaha, Juno and Sword beaches, Allied airborne forces saw heavy fighting further inland. Landing in the dead of night to avoid enemy detection, paratroopers and gliders landed behind enemy lines, often far away from their intended landing zones, fighting to delay and disrupt any enemy counter-attack until the beachheads could be made secure. Produced in remembrance of the incredible sacrifices made by so many during the landings, the 23,400 Airborne Troops commemorative is part of the D-Day 75th Anniversary Collection and features an image of paratroopers with the combined flags of the Allied Forces. Specification – Finish: Proof-Like, Edition Limit: 9,999, Base Metal: Iron, Plating: .999 Silver, Diameter: 28.5 mm.
