| Reverse description | Central design depicts a formation of Avro Lancaster bombers flying low over a dam wall, rendered in high relief against a circular targeting reticle background evoking the famous bouncing bomb aiming device used during Operation Chastise in 1943. The dam structure with sluice towers is depicted in the lower portion of the design, with stylized water below. The legend HALF SOVEREIGN arcs across the upper field, while DAMBUSTERS and 75th ANNIVERSARY appear in bold relief across the lower portion of the design, commemorating the 75th anniversary of the historic RAF 617 Squadron raid. |
