| Reverse description | The reverse features a detailed depiction of two Fairey Swordfish biplane torpedo-bombers in flight, rendered in fine relief against a plain field. The larger aircraft is shown in three-quarter view in the central foreground, displaying its characteristic interplane struts, fixed undercarriage, and open cockpit; a second Swordfish appears above in a banking attitude. In the lower left background, a Royal Navy aircraft carrier is depicted at sea, rendered with incuse detail to suggest waves beneath the aircraft. The curved legend AIRCRAFT OF WORLD WAR II arcs along the upper periphery, with FAIREY SWORDFISH inscribed in the lower central field, and the denomination 1 CROWN at the base. |
