Reverse

A selectively gold-plated “V” for Victory dominates the reverse design by artist Pandora Young. The crowd represents jubilation on the home front on May 8, 1945, a day when Canadians poured into streets and public places to celebrate Victory in Europe (V-E) Day. The spontaneous celebration gradually fades behind the “V” to become a scene of remembrance, with three silhouettes representing the different branches (navy, army and air force) of the Canadian and British Armed Forces in which Canadians and Newfoundlanders served

Interesting fact

The interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted to commemorate the 75th anniversary of VE Day, which marked the end of World War II in Europe. The coin's design features a portrait of King George VI, who was the monarch at the time of VE Day, and the reverse side features a depiction of the Canadian flag and the dates "1945-2020" to signify the anniversary.
