  Comments:
In Britain, the V sign is an offensive gesture (made with the back of the hand facing outwards).
The kokugos describe it as a "victory sign" but I think it's used more or less synonymously with ピースサイン.

"During the Vietnam War, in the 1960s, the "V sign" with palm outward was widely adopted by the counterculture as a symbol of peace 
and still today in the United States it is commonly called the "peace sign."
