Issued on the exact 70th anniversary of Japan's formal surrender, this coin was part of a broader commemorative program that included medals, stamps, and a large military parade through Beijing — the first time China had staged such a display specifically framed around WWII victory rather than National Day. The parade drew pointed international attention, showcasing hardware and units explicitly linked to what Beijing officially designates the "Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression."
Circulation was tightly managed through state banks, with demand far exceeding supply in many provinces.
