The End of World War II 75th Anniversary Coin and Medals Program
This year marks the 75th anniversary of the end of the involvement of the United States in World War II and the surrender of Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan. Millions of American citizens served in uniform during the course of the struggle. The United States Mint is honored to salute the “greatest generation” that rose to the occasion with the End of World War II 75th Anniversary Coin and Medals Program. The compelling collection includes magnificent representations of the values and ideals our service men and women fought to protect. Join us in celebration of the bravery, courage, and sacrifice of Americans who stood together to preserve our way of life.
American Eagle Products
The End of World War II 75th Anniversary American Eagle proof coins showcase moving renditions of Lady Liberty and the heraldic American eagle. The coins also include a special privy mark that incorporates the shape of the Rainbow Pool at the National World War II Memorial along with “V75,” signifying the 75th anniversary of the World War II victory.
End of World War II 75th Anniversary 24-Karat Gold Coin and Silver Medal
As companion pieces to the American Eagle coins, these End of World War II 75th Anniversary program products are beautifully minted in 24-karat gold and 99.9 percent silver. The coin and medal feature one of the most meaningful designs created by United States Mint artists. The obverse design of an eagle in flight grasping an olive branch, symbolizing peace, in its right talon. The design is inspired by the 1945 version of the Great Seal of the United States, while the reverse design echoes the sun element featured on the obverse of the 1945 World War II Victory Medal. The sun from that medal has, 75 years later, risen to noon day brilliance, shining on the symbolic olive branches on the left.
