History of the  2016 1/2 oz Victory in the Pacific

As Japan was the last axis superpower to admit defeat, the battle in the Pacific was the last essential phase in the Second World battle. During the horrific course of nearly four years, the Pacific theater of World War II saw some of the bloodiest and most exhausting combat. Tens of millions of soldiers and civilians died as the allied forces of the United States, Australia, and China attacked Japan and Thailand. Finally, on September 2, 1945, representatives from Japan boarded the USS Missouri, an American warship, to admit defeat and bring an end to World War II. This stunning, uncirculated half-ounce piece made of 9999 pure silver honors the tens of millions of troops and defenseless citizens who lost their lives in this conflict.
