Eleven months after landing on the beaches of Normandy, Allied forces scattered across Europe celebrate the surrender of Nazi Germany. A historic day, “V-E DAY” (or Victory in Europe Day) symbolizes the end of nearly six years of conflict and the return of peace for millions of Europeans.

Victory in Europe Day is the day celebrating the formal acceptance by the Allies of World War II of Germany's unconditional surrender of its armed forces on Tuesday, 8 May 1945; it marked the official surrender of all German military operations.

The obverses of the coins feature soldiers from the US, Canada, UK and France, and one of their places of battle.

The reverse features all the Allied countries that officially took part in the Normandy landings, surrounded by the face value and the RF initials. Clockwise: France Libre, Netherlands, New Zealand, Poland, Australia, USA, Norway, UK, Czechoslovakia, Canada & Belgium.

The stars under the flags are also a tribute to the Liberty Road, mile markers marking the route taken by the 3rd US Army in liberating France as far as Luxembourg.
