| Obverse description | Left-facing bust of General Douglas MacArthur in uniform and peaked cap dominates the lower left of the field, with his initials 'US' visible on his collar. Behind him, a scene in relief depicts a row of Allied military officers standing at attention, while to the right a figure is shown signing documents at a table, commemorating the Japanese surrender ceremony. The legend 'MacARTHUR' arcs across the upper field, with '2 SEPTEMBRE 1945' inscribed in the lower exergue. |
