| Additional information |
France's commemorative marking the 80th anniversary of V-E Day includes this piece honoring Czechoslovakia's liberation, a theater of the war that ended with particular complexity — Soviet forces entered Prague on May 9, 1945, the day after Germany's unconditional surrender was signed in Reims, meaning Czechoslovakia was technically liberated after the official European armistice. The Prague Offensive was among the last major ground operations of the entire war.
The Monnaie de Paris has issued a multi-coin V-Day series in 2025, each piece dedicated to a different Allied nation or theater. KM#3553 sits in that sequence as the Czechoslovakia issue.
