| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse features the iconic V-J Day photograph taken in Times Square, New York, depicting a sailor kissing a nurse in celebration of the end of World War II, rendered in fine detail within the coin's field. A decorative laurel wreath frames the central image, encircling the commemorative scene. The design pays tribute to the Allied victory and the jubilant atmosphere marking the close of the Second World War in 1945. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Issued to mark the 75th anniversary of the end of World War II, this coin carries particular weight for Gibraltar, which endured one of the longest civilian evacuations in British history — nearly 16,000 residents were shipped to Britain, Morocco, and Madeira beginning in 1940, many not returning until the late 1940s. The Rock itself served as a critical naval and air chokepoint throughout the conflict, and its retention was non-negotiable for Allied Mediterranean strategy.
KM#1805 is one of dozens of commemorative crown-sized pieces Gibraltar has issued under royal license since the 1970s, struck by contract mints rather than any facility on the territory itself.
