50th Anniversary of the Liberation from Japan.
The interesting design theme here, for a collector of Chinese Soviet coins, is the the globe motif with map. This seems to have originated in China with medals issued during the Republic. That motif was used by the Communist Soviets to depict China, here the Republic of China prominently displays the Island of Taiwan. Some of the first coins of the ROC also depicted the Island but without the globe. Obverse / reverse are switched in the photo.
