| Additional information |
Victory over Japan Day — marked on August 15 in Commonwealth nations and September 2 in the United States, depending on whether surrender or formal signing is taken as the endpoint — has been commemorated in coin form repeatedly since the conflict's 75th anniversary approached. Niue's use of its New Zealand-backed dollar for bullion and commemorative issues is a long-established licensing arrangement, producing gold coins with no domestic circulation whatsoever.
The 15.56g weight is a half-troy-ounce specification, the commercial standard for this tier of the modern commemorative bullion market.
