Reverse

An eagle flies into view in the center of the design with an olive branch between its talons. On the left side of the design, the Stars and Stripes of the United States of America. On the right side, the Southern Cross flag of the Commonwealth of Australia. Inscriptions include Victory in the Pacific along the top rocker and 1945 along the bottom.

History

The United States of America was the only nation in World War II to actively fight a two-front war and emerge victorious. The United States was not only heavily engaged in ground and aerial combat in Europe, but also ground, naval, and aerial combat in the Pacific Theater as it engaged in an island-hopping campaign to take back islands from Imperial Japan and push it back towards the home islands. The Commonwealth of Australia was an invaluable partner in this effort and the two nations celebrated the victory with a remembrance day known as Victory over Japan Day (VJ Day) in the United States and Victory in the Pacific Day (VP Day) in Australia.
