The Pacific theater of War staged some of the bloodiest and most depleting battles of World War II, over a gruesome, nearly four year time span.

The allied forces of the United States, Australia, and China, took on Japan and Thailand resulting in tens of millions of both military and civilian causalities.

The battle was the last necessary step in the War, as Japan was the final axis superpower to concede defeat.

Ultimately, on September 2, 1945, delegates on behalf of Japan boarded the United States vessel, the USS Missouri to concede defeat, culminating in the cessation of World War II.

This Brilliant, Uncirculated 1/2 oz 9999 pure silver coin pays homage to the tens of millions of soldiers and innocent civilians who perished throughout this battle.

On the reverse side, the quintessential symbol of America, a powerful bald eagle is illustrated bearing an olive branch as it touches down.

The Landing eagle symbolizes the strength, fortitude, and sacrifice of all the allied forces who fought gallantly for victory.

Stars and stripes are expertly engraved in the coin's background, while "Victory In The Pacific" and "1945" feature as the coins encapsulation.

The Obverse side represents the Australian contribution to the War in the Pacific, as the bust of her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II, designed by Ian Rank-Broadley, is seen.

The Queen's effigy is surrounded by her title, the coin's weight, and purity,

This brilliant uncirculated coin carries a great deal of historical and sentimental value, which contributes to its numismatic value.

Additionally, with a 9999 fine silver content, this high-quality silver coin will see steady demand from both investors and collectors alike.

ABOUT THE PERTH MINT

The Perth Mint opened in 1899 as the British Royal Mint’s 3rd branch in Australia. The historical Hay Street location handled gold refining until moving to a modern facility in April 1990. Ownership of the mint was transferred to the Government of Western Australia in July of 1970. Under an agreement with the Commonwealth Treasury, they were empowered to mint and market gold, silver, and platinum as Australian legal tender to investors and collectors worldwide. Today, they are amongst the elite world mints whose pure gold, silver, and platinum items are trusted without question. Items such as the Australian Nugget, Silver Coin Series (Kangaroo, Kookaburra, Koala, and Platypus to name a few), as well as the Australian Lunar Gold and Silver Coin Series are extensively sought after by bullion investors worldwide.
