Coin 4 - 2005 60th Anniversary of the End of World War II "The Dancing Man" - 1 Dollar Coin A Coin commemorating the 60th anniversary of the end of World War II [WW II]. The design was inspired by a newsreel image of a celebrating man hence is also known as the "Dancing Man". One of the most famous 'clips' of all time used in many documentaries. On the 14th August 1945 Japan accepted the allied demands for surrender marking the end of World War II. The following day it was announced in Australia sparking feelings of joy and relief from all Australians. VP Day (Victory in the Pacific Day) was reported in all the papers and the Australian government gazetted it a public holiday. USA and New Zealand preferred the term VJ Day (Victory over Japan Day) and named it as such.On VP Day August 15th 1945 the celebrations were rife. In the streets of Sydney a man was caught on motion picture film dancing in celebration. This film and the "dancing man" has taken on iconic status in symbolising the victory of WW II.2005 marked the 60th anniversary of VP Day and the RAM released a circulation one dollar coin depicting "Peace" and the image of the iconic dancing man. In a media release the RAM said the gentleman depicted was one Ern Hill, a retired electrician but there is much conjecture over this. There is more evidence that it is in fact Frank McAlary QC. Both these men and others claim to be the famous "Dancing Man" caught on camera dancing down Elizabeth Street on that day. The reverse shows a celebrating man waving his hat in the air, the denomination 1 DOLLAR between the figure and its shadow below. Around above, WORLD WAR 1939 - 1945 PEACE. Designers initials WP in tiny letters under the right foot of the figure. The obverse shows the crowned mature head of Queen Elizabeth II facing right (her effigy known as the "Fourth Portrait").
