| 背面描述 | The reverse features a three-quarter portrait of Wing Commander Guy Gibson in RAF uniform and flying gear, smiling, with a Victoria Cross and other decorations visible at his chest. In the upper left of the field, a detailed relief of an Avro Lancaster bomber is depicted in flight. To the lower left, a colored rectangular cartouche displays the Union Flag alongside the inscription GREAT BRITISH HEROES. An additional legend in the field reads Hero of Operation Chastise 1943. The arc legend WING COMMANDER GUY GIBSON runs along the upper rim, with ONE CROWN inscribed along the lower rim, all within a beaded border. |

Guy Gibson led the 617 Squadron raid on the Ruhr dams on the night of 16–17 May 1943, flying the lead Lancaster at low level through sustained flak while dropping his mine first and then circling repeatedly to draw fire away from his crews — conduct for which he received the Victoria Cross. He was killed in September 1944 under circumstances that remain unexplained; his de Havilland Mosquito went down over the Netherlands with no confirmed cause ever established.
Tristan da Cunha has issued commemorative crowns under British authority since the 1970s, functioning almost entirely as collector pieces with negligible actual circulation on the island, whose permanent population sits below 300.
