| Beschrijving keerzijde | A dynamic figure of St. Michael, depicted as a classical warrior angel rendered in bold relief, stands triumphant with a sword raised in his right hand while subduing a three-headed hydra beneath his feet. The angel's wings are spread dramatically upward, occupying the upper field of the coin. The monogram 'AD' appears in the lower central field. The commemorative legends flank the central device on both sides, with the RAF motto arcing across the left and the anniversary inscription along the right margin. |

Gibraltar's fractional sovereign issues occupy an awkward commercial space — technically legal tender on the Rock, practically aimed at the bullion gift market. This 2015 piece marks the 75th anniversary of the Battle of Britain, the Luftwaffe's summer and autumn air campaign of 1940 that Hitler's planners had expected to conclude in four weeks. It ran four months and failed entirely, forcing the indefinite postponement of Operation Sea Lion.
Gibraltar itself was a Luftwaffe target during the war, though attacks were sporadic and largely ineffective against the fortress's deep tunnel network.
