| Reverse description | A richly detailed high-relief composition spread across the annular sector field, depicting two thematic scenes united in a continuous frieze. On the left, a figure in period dress steadies an early biplane reminiscent of the Wright Flyer as an eagle takes flight beneath its wings, commemorating the birth of aviation. On the right, allegorical figures representing America and History are shown in a classical tableau: a robed female figure bearing a shield and spear stands at centre, accompanied by a seated nude figure with an eagle, while armoured soldiers and historical personages appear in the background. The legend AVIATION and AMERICA AND HISTORY appears across the upper field flanked by stars, and the first line of The Star-Spangled Banner, O! SAY CAN YOU SEE, is inscribed along the lower field above a decorative border of Greek key and geometric motifs. |
