This dramatic uncirculated commemorative Crown was issued by the government of the Isle of Man to honor the soldiers of World War II who exemplified the bravery and self-sacrifice that saw the allies to victory over the forces of Fascism. This Crown bears the impression of The Silver Star imposed over a scene depicting the American GIs engaged in the terrible struggle that was the War in the Pacific. The Silver Star is a United States military decoration and is the third highest medal for valor. It is presented to any person who, while serving in any capacity with the United States Armed Forces, is cited for gallantry in action against an enemy of the United States while engaged in military operations involving conflict with an opposing foreign force. The decoration is also awarded for those who are serving with friendly foreign forces engaged in armed conflict against an opposing armed force in which the United States is not a belligerent party. The required gallantry, while of a lesser degree than that required for award of the Distinguished Service Cross, Navy Cross or Air Force Cross, must nevertheless have been performed with marked distinction.

This Crown bears the impression of The War Medal of Norway imposed over a scene depicting the struggle in the Baltic against the Germans. Norway was invaded by Germany on the April 8th 1940 and immediately after its occupation an active underground resistance movement arose and fought throughout the war. Those Norwegians that had escaped formed active service units within the Allied forces including the Merchant Marine Corps. Instituted in 1941, The War Medal of Norway was awarded to Norwegian or Allied soldiers, resistance fighters, and civilians who had served meritoriously in the war or in the defense of Norway. This medal could be and often was awarded posthumously.
