| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a detailed relief scene commemorating the Mulberry Harbours, the prefabricated temporary harbours used during the Allied invasion of Normandy in 1944. The upper portion of the field shows a panoramic view of the harbour structures with vessels and modular caissons rendered in fine detail. In the lower foreground, a prominently positioned colored red poppy — applied as an enamel insert — rests against the hull of a landing craft or tug vessel, serving as a symbol of remembrance. The legend 'MULBERRY HARBOURS' arcs along the upper rim, and 'ONE CROWN' is inscribed along the lower rim. |
