75th World War II Anniversary Twenty Five Dollar Gold 2020

About This Series

Authorized by Congress as part of a three-coin commemorative program, the 75th World War II Anniversary $25 gold coin marks the end of the most devastating conflict in human history with a half-ounce striking in .9999 fine gold. Designed to honor the Allied victory and the sacrifices of the Greatest Generation, this coin's obverse references iconic wartime imagery while the reverse carries inscriptions commemorating the 1945 conclusion of hostilities. The gold, silver, and clad issues in this program were authorized under separate enabling legislation, with surcharges benefiting organizations dedicated to preserving World War II history and honoring veterans. Struck at the West Point Mint, the $25 denomination places this coin in the modern commemorative gold tradition established by the 1984 Olympic gold eagles. With a limited mintage typical of modern commemorative gold issues, these coins appeal to both numismatic collectors pursuing complete commemorative sets and military history enthusiasts drawn to the powerful wartime subject matter. The .9999 fine gold purity matches the standard established for modern American Gold Eagle coins, giving the piece substantial intrinsic value alongside its commemorative significance.
