| Reversbeschreibung | The reverse depicts a top-down plan view of a Chance Vought F4U Corsair aircraft rendered in fine detail at the centre of the field, with a side-profile view of the same aircraft shown above it, illustrating the distinctive gull-wing configuration. To the lower left of the central design, the inscription CHANCE VOUGHT CORSAIR appears in two lines, while a Fly Navy emblem is situated to the lower right. The curved legend 100 YEARS OF NAVAL AVIATION arcs across the upper portion of the field, and the denomination ONE CROWN is inscribed along the lower rim. |

Gibraltar has issued commemorative crowns prolifically since the 1970s, and this Corsair piece is one of dozens in an ongoing aviation series that has drawn mixed reactions from collectors for its sheer volume of output. The F4U Corsair's bent-wing design was originally dictated by the need to accommodate its massive Hamilton Standard propeller while keeping the landing gear short enough for carrier operations — a constraint that defined the entire airframe.
Gibraltar's crown issues carry no legal tender pretense in practice; they are produced for the collector market and rarely, if ever, circulate.
