| Beschrijving keerzijde | Three British Royal Air Force fighter aircraft — two Hawker Hurricanes and a Supermarine Spitfire — depicted in dynamic aerial combat formation against a darkened field, with smoke and explosion effects rendered in high relief. A coloured red poppy appears prominently in the lower center of the field, serving as a symbol of remembrance. The arc legend BATTLE OF BRITAIN runs along the upper periphery, while ONE CROWN is inscribed along the lower periphery. The composition commemorates the pivotal 1940 air campaign that defended Britain against the Luftwaffe. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Gibraltar has issued commemorative crowns prolifically since the 1970s, and by 2004 the territory had produced dozens of Battle of Britain-themed pieces across multiple series. This copper-nickel strike is the circulation-quality version of an issue that also appeared in silver proof; the base metal edition was aimed squarely at the collector market rather than actual use, given that Gibraltar's everyday coinage had long been dominated by smaller denominations.
The Battle of Britain itself lasted from July to October 1940, with RAF Fighter Command's 11 Group flying the bulk of sorties from airfields in southeast England.
