Liberia – 2025 – 5 Dollars – Battle of Midway 2oz silver

Description

The Battle of Midway, fought from June 4–7, 1942, was a pivotal World War II naval battle where the U.S. Pacific Fleet, led by Chester W. Nimitz, decisively defeated Japan’s Combined Fleet near Midway Atoll. This marked a turning point in the Pacific War. A commemorative coin depicts key scenes: the reverse shows intense combat, including American and Japanese aircraft and burning carriers like the IJN Kaga and USS Yorktown. The obverse features a calmer moment, with an American Dauntless launching from the USS Enterprise. The coin highlights both the chaos and distance of naval warfare and serves as a tribute to the sacrifices made, reminding us that modern peace and progress are built on the efforts of those before us.
