2005 $1 60th Anniversary of The End of World Ward II 1oz Silver Proof Lenticular Coin

The War in Europe ended on 7 May 1945 when Nazi Germany surrendered unconditionally at General Dwight Eisenhower's headquarters in Reims, France. The reverse of the coin features a lenticular image comprising multiple frames of the ‘dancing man’ taken from newsreel footage. When viewed from different angles, they produce a movie-like sequence showing him pirouette through 360 degrees while tipping his hat. The image is bordered by the inscription 60th ANNIVERSARY OF THE END OF WWII 1945-2005.
