| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a figure representing a private soldier of the British 6th Airborne Division, commemorating the unit's involvement from the Normandy landings on the night of 6 June 1944 through to the end of the Second World War in the Far East. The composition references the division's campaign through the Battle of Normandy, the Battle of the Bulge, Operation Varsity, the crossing of the Rhine, and the unit's subsequent deployment to Malaya and Singapore, where it witnessed the disarmament of Japanese forces following the formal surrender on 2 September 1945. The inscription SINGAPOUR appears prominently within the design, accompanied by the issue year 2025. |

| Additional information |
The V-E Day commemorative program from Monnaie de Paris has expanded considerably in recent years to include issues tied to Allied nations and theaters beyond metropolitan France. Singapore's inclusion here reflects the broader Pacific dimension of the 1945 armistice: the formal Japanese surrender in Southeast Asia occurred on 12 September 1945 at the Municipal Building in Singapore, nearly five weeks after the Tokyo Bay ceremony, making the city a distinct endpoint in its own right.
KM#3574 places this squarely within the 2025 anniversary output.
