| Reverse description | A vivid full-colour applied scene depicting an aerial dogfight commemorating the D-Day air campaign of 6 June 1944. Two Royal Air Force Supermarine Spitfires engage a German Luftwaffe Messerschmitt Bf 109, with dramatic flame and smoke effects rendered in colour against a stylised golden sky. The bold raised legend 'CONTROL OF THE SKIES' arcs across the upper field, with 'D-DAY' in a banner at the upper left and '1944' to the right. The names of the five Normandy landing beaches — 'GOLD', 'UTAH', 'JUNO', 'SWORD', and 'OMAHA' — appear incuse along the right border, while 'OVERLORD' is inscribed in a cartouche at the lower right, referencing the codename for the Allied invasion. |
