| Reverse description | The central field depicts a detailed rendering of the Montgolfier hot air balloon of 1783, elaborately decorated with ornamental panels, garlands, and a central medallion, shown tethered to a raised launch platform with mooring ropes and attendant figures in period dress. Trees and architectural elements frame the scene on either side. A braided rope border encircles the design. The upper legend reads 'BICENTENARY OF MANNED FLIGHT' and the lower legend reads 'ONE CROWN', with the inscription 'MONTGOLFIER BALLOON 1783' appearing in smaller lettering immediately below the balloon in the lower central field. |
