50 Yuan 80th Anniversary of the Victory in WWII

Issued in anticipation of the September 2025 commemorations marking eighty years since Japan's formal surrender, this coin is part of a broader PRC campaign that has grown increasingly elaborate with each major war anniversary since the 1990s. China officially designates September 3rd as its Victory Day — a date distinct from the August 15th surrender announcement observed in Japan and much of the West — reflecting Beijing's insistence on the Chinese theater's primacy in the Pacific conflict.
