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.
