75th World War II Anniversary Twenty Five Dollar…

About the Program

Three-quarters of a century after the war ended in 1945, the Mint released a group of collector products in November 2020. On November 5 came proof Gold and Silver Eagles carrying a V75 privy mark, shaped like the Rainbow Pool of the National World War II Memorial seen from above. On November 9 the Mint released two pieces sharing new designs: a half-ounce 24-karat gold coin with a $25 face value, limited to 7,500, and a one-ounce silver medal, limited to 20,000. The $25 gold coin is the subject of this guide. The V75 Eagles launched on November 5 sold out fast, and the Mint acknowledged problems with its website that day.

The Finishes and Mints

The program has a single coin, a West Point proof carrying a W: the 2020-W proof $25. The silver medal of the same design was struck at Philadelphia without a mark and, as a medal, has no face value; it is listed with our medals.

Key Dates and Varieties

The only date is 2020. The Mint's weekly sales report first showed 7,482 coins in late November 2020, then fell as orders were adjusted, held at 7,366 from January 2022, and has read 7,419 since August 2024.

The V75 privy coins are separate issues in other series: see the 2020-W proof $50 Gold Eagle with V75 privy and the 2020-W proof Silver Eagle with V75 privy.

How to Tell Them Apart

Obverse. An eagle flies with an olive branch in its right talon, after the 1945 version of the Great Seal, with LIBERTY, 1945 and WORLD WAR II. The designer was Ronald Sanders of the Mint's Artistic Infusion Program; Phebe Hemphill sculpted it.

Reverse. Rays from a sun, after the sun on the Victory Medal awarded for the war, fall on olive branches. It reads UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, E PLURIBUS UNUM, IN GOD WE TRUST, 75th ANNIVERSARY, 2020, AU 24K, 1/2 OZ. and $25. The design is Donna Weaver's, sculpted by Renata Gordon.

Not an American Eagle. The 2020 $25 Gold Eagle is 22-karat and shows Saint-Gaudens's Liberty and a family of eagles; this coin is 24-karat with the designs above. The V75 privy appears only on the Eagles.

FAQ

Does the 2020 World War II $25 gold coin have a V75 privy mark?

No. The V75 privy mark appears on the 2020-W proof Gold Eagle and Silver Eagle issued for the same anniversary. The $25 coin has its own designs, an eagle with an olive branch and a sunburst over olive branches, and carries a plain W mint mark.
