Australia's official end-of-war commemoratives have multiplied considerably since the 1990s, but the 75th anniversary of the Pacific War's conclusion carried specific institutional weight in 2020 — the last major anniversary likely to be marked by any surviving Australian veterans of the conflict. Japan's formal surrender was signed aboard USS Missouri on 2 September 1945, ending six years of war that had brought fighting closer to Australian soil than any conflict since European settlement.
The Perth Mint struck this as a two-ounce .9999 fine issue, a specification it increasingly favors for premium commemoratives over the older 22-karat standard.
