The coin, which is inspired by the 1943-45 Victory Nickel, features a large 'V' for 'Victory' on the inner core, a flaming torch, maple leaves, and the dates 1945 and 2020. The original Victory Nickel message 'We win when we work willingly' is also included in the outer ring of the coin in Morse code.
