Is the D-Day 50p worth anything?

However, since the introduction of the smaller 50ps in 1997, this coin can no longer be found in your change – meaning they have become particularly sought-after. Own yours today for £11 – FREE POSTAGE – whilst our stocks last.
Is D-Day Toonie rare?
Thanks for asking. Nearly 150,000 Allied troops, including 14,000 Canadians, invaded Normandy on June 6th, 1944, seeking to end four years of German occupation. The toonie, which features three soldiers peeking over the top of their vessel, is quite a rare piece. “It is in circulation, but there’s a limited number,” said Hanson.
