Description
The 1993 (D) World War II 50th Anniversary Dollar is a commemorative dollar struck at the Denver Mint. The U.S. Mint produced 94,708 examples. Authorized as part of a five-year program (1991-1995) commemorating the 50th anniversary of World War II, this dollar depicts the D-Day invasion at Normandy. The obverse features an American soldier advancing on Normandy beach during D-Day, with servicemen in trenches and the dual dates 1991-1995, while the reverse displays the shoulder sleeve insignia of Supreme Headquarters Allied Expeditionary Force (SHAEF) with Eisenhower's quote to the troops before D-Day. Designed by Thomas D. Rogers. Struck in 90% silver, 10% copper, weighing 26.73 grams, 38.1 mm in diameter, with a reeded edge. Cataloged as PCGS #9676. The WWII dollar's powerful D-Day imagery and Eisenhower quote make it one of the most emotionally resonant designs in the modern commemorative series.
