World War II raged across the European continent, North Africa, the Middle East, Russia, and the Pacific Theater for nearly six full years from 1939 to 1945. By May 1945, the United States, United Kingdom, France, and the Soviet Union had pushed back Nazi Germany and secured peace in the European Theater. After three more months of brutal fighting and island hopping, the United States, Australia, and other Allies secured another victory in defeating the Japanese in the Pacific. To celebrate 75 years from that moment, the US Mint issued numerous gold and silver pieces.

The obverse of 2020 End of WWII 75th Anniversary Silver Medals comes with a depiction of the American bald eagle. Its left wing swoops down the bottom of the design field as one of its talons is held out clutching an olive branch. On the reverse of the 2020 1 oz End of WWII Silver Medal is a depiction of the sun rising into the noontime sky overhead of the branches of an olive tree.
