End of World War II 75th Anniversary 24 Karat Gold Coin and Silver Medal
Few geopolitical events helped define the American Identity in the 20th Century to the same degree as World War II. This monumental struggle against Fascism touched nearly every person in the United States by either directly serving in the Armed Forces or having a loved one who did so.
The conflict helped shape the world view of several subsequent American generations to see themselves as “honest brokers” in geopolitical negotiation, the good guys in the ongoing struggle against tyranny and totalitarianism, and a powerful military ally.
Therefore, it is only fitting that the United States Mint is issuing a commemorative 24 karat gold coin and matching silver medal to mark the 75th Anniversary of the Allied Victory in World War II.
