| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a jubilant crowd of civilians and uniformed military personnel celebrating the end of World War II, rendered in detailed relief reminiscent of contemporary newspaper photography. At center, a woman raises aloft a newspaper bearing the headline PEACE, flanked by rejoicing figures holding additional PEACE placards and an American flag in the background. The legend WORLD WAR II VICTORY curves boldly along the upper periphery in large raised letters. The scene captures the euphoric public reaction to the Allied victory with a sense of movement and emotion characteristic of commemorative medallic art. |

| Additional information |
Liberia has issued commemorative dollars under this format since the 1990s, primarily through contracted minting arrangements with European facilities, targeting the collector market rather than domestic circulation. The series has accumulated hundreds of topics over three decades, and a 2024 WWII Victory piece is one of the more recent additions to an already exhaustive catalogue of themed issues.
At 38 grams in aluminium brass, this is a heavyweight piece by design — built for shelf appeal, not the Monrovia money supply.
