Reverse
Large V in centre coloured with Union Jack, with Churchill in the middle giving the 'V for Victory' fingers. The word 'VICTORY' arcs above him. St Paul's Cathedral at the bottom of the reverse projects searchlights, two bordering the outer edges of the giant 'V', the other two reaching to the edge of approximately one-third from the bottom of the coin. Crowds on cobblestone roads celebrate either side of the 'V', with a Union Jack on either side coloured. There is a legend around the border of a speech marking VE Day and the end of the Second World War.
