The Reverse of the coin draws on the Obverse of the 1945 World War II Victory Medal with the sun element. The design of the Reverse was created by AIP artist Donna Weaver and sculpted by Renata Gordon.
These new gold and silver medals continue the ongoing commemoration of the end of the Second World War by the United States Mint. Throughout 2020, the United States Mint has announced several products or enhanced products to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the ending of World War II. This has included Privy marks on the Washington Quarter from West Point and a Privy marked American Eagle.
