| Reverse description | Central figure of Victory (Winged Angel), modeled after the gilded bronze sculpture crowning the Victoria Memorial in London, depicted three-quarter view and rendered in high relief. The allegorical figure is shown winged, wreath-crowned, and draped in classical robes, extending her right arm outward while holding a palm frond in her left hand. The circumscribed Latin legend VICTORIA • CONCORDIA • CRESCIT arcs around the upper and left periphery of the coin, translating as 'Victory through Harmony.' A small engraver's mintmark appears at the lower right of the field. |

| Additional information |
Saint Helena issued this piece under a broader commemorative program tied to the 75th anniversary of the end of World War II — a subject with particular resonance for the island, which served as a strategic South Atlantic waypoint for Allied supply and communication routes. The territory's remote position made it a quiet but logistically significant node in the war's Atlantic infrastructure.
